In dreams

lossnaturemusicmemorytimemortality

In dreams

Where only the moment

Is recalled

Before the walls fall in

Doors never open

Where they are supposed to

The familiar, lost

The only thing to do

Is to keep searching

How do you find

A memory

When it is painted

With a different palette everyday

It is an enigma

With a binary code

No genetic fingerprint

Can be traced

Only the shadow

Of an answer plays

A zoetrope effect

Flickering images

A broken record

Stuck in a familiar groove

Without ever

Moving on

How will I find you

When every time

There is belief

A proof of life

I find only the space

You left behind

It is less a dream

Of wish fulfillment

More the curse of

A nightmare

Without the blood

Scream me dry

There is no one left

To wake me.
