always remember me

lately i've been dreaming
of sandcastles and secret coves
that would house our whispers.
things that we don't
understand
a place
that would be just ours
the waves lulling the words
to our lips
the truth, a welcome guest
but the only other.
i've been dreaming of driftwood
mangled from the sea
but in our eyes its beautiful
so, so beautiful.
in this dream its so easy,
everything is effortless
and it seems quite impossible.
in this very same dream
the sunlight rises and falls
and we're always
asleep,
content,
peaceful.
we're waking up slow in
familiar places
where the mountains rush to meet the sea
its simple happiness.
and when the dream disappears
a trick of light, a curtain of smoke
a vanishing act
its still impossibly beautiful.
