Gabriel

You told me to paint my dreams.

You told me to paint my dreams - I told you

in my dreams I am below the water

but above the air. Sinking, sunk.

I cannot run, but I can fly.

I can’t read what I’ve written on the walls, but I can see. And I know only the secret thoughts of the dead, and memory of sunshine and loss and I cannot find the souls of those I have loved.

I can touch the meaning with my mind, but I can’t put it in words.

Cheer up, baby, your dreams will never come true
