(a dream)

I had a dream that i was weightless and strong
And could glide in dark valleys under a black sun.
In the dream my breath was cold and my eyes closed.
But i soared high in the sky like an eagle
And saw below the sea.
And i tasted and kissed the sea
And i swallowed salt air like acid champagne
That stung me awake.
And the words of the flight still hung in my head
As i woke up in bed
And the black sun's shadow that crawled on the sea
Still shivered for me.
And in my dead heart
I felt blessed flight
Ascend like the night
And depart.
