A dream you had.

I’m certain I know how this will all end … its in a dream – let’s start from the end.
You picture this … your on a set of swings, your pushing against the wind. The wind pushes you back. You move your body against a force. You push yourself. The wind tries to pull you back. You hang on tight – your flying along with the wind. You feel so different. And yet, it doesn’t feel so different.
I’m certain I know how this will all end … its in a dream – let’s call it indifference.
If you swing yourself on this rusty old swing – the metal bars will break. I wish I could tell you – that before you sat here, and decided to push against yourself, to try and fly .. that it will all come to an end. The swinging will come to a halt. The smile you painted across your face – that will soon chip off. The paint doesn’t last. The wind doesn’t always help. You picture this, I am on the swing. You push me, and I’m soaring towards the sky. My smile is transparent, and my heart is made of metal. It’s all so rusty – I don’t want to break.
A swing set .. this was so innocent.
This dream you had, I told you .. I always told you .. keep your dreams to yourself.
I wish I felt the wind brush my eyes, and kiss my lips.
I wish, that good dreams never end.
But …
