Dream if you want for me to carry on If you could break it all down for me I could believe you Dream if you want for me to carry on If you could break it all down for me I remember you and I, Northern Michigan The color in between the leaves Black tourmaline, blue-green Like some bioluminescent thing Come up from the black of the sea The pearl of the breeze Whispering I remember how you stood at the water's edge While I was at the line of the trees And you waited out patiently down Never darkening your step The shadows grew around your feet Your ankles and knees I remember trembling Nights you tell them were anxious in a panic I was that watcher on the ridge Standing on dune edge face west And the night slope down before me like a challenge from myth But, I never moved an inch Backlit by the camp fire blazing Heaving in a harsh spring wind Sparks thrown into the low branches To fade or to float into the water like a ghost ship, sinking Days we'd breeze through everything Laughter full mornings at home and out warm nights running from sleep Days like good dreams Always familiar, surreal The sun and the trees bleeds marigold and wine, life All of its languages here Love spoke in tongues, loudly or hushed Too much of you at once is just enough at all times My life in the light of you I remember everything Dream if you want for me to carry on You could be like a body in the sea You could go and slowly sink on and do nothingness so you could flow Like a lantern in the breeze, you could freeze Not a focus on a movie screen Fell careening from the reel Where you could stay afront and fishing when credits role Focus face Right in the center of the frame You never know I hear the sound of my feet before I felt them pound sand I heard only my own heart Heartbeat in my head There is no sound I saw the water to her knees Then to your neck Above your head I swore you drown I watched you swim out I only watched you, waited, and panicked when I lost you Sprinting now downward to find you back as if you even needed me or asked Or are you always myself too much for your old sadness Worry until I panic Tumble to the open shoreline Kept running toward water alone The waves against my chest deafening are only your soft laughter in me
