.
There is a dream,
.
One dream,
.
That always comes back.
.
.
It is set in a city of mist,
.
Or deep, in the dark of a forest -
.
Lined at the root-floor
.
With hundreds 
.
Of carefully crafted statuettes.
.
.
And I am leaping;
.
And leaping;
.
.
Bounding over miles,
.
And at such heights -
.
Over the tree-line
.
Or beyond the mist,  
.
.
Before falling back 
.
And doing it again.
.
.
Such heights,
.
Like a bird without its feathers -
.
Landing gently,
.
Softly,
.
Safely,
.
.
Before tracking another arc
.
And taking the horizon
.
With calculated leisure,
.
And embarking the interval
.
With an equanimous pleasure. 
.
.
It is a dream that appears, in time,
.
Only to remind me that deep in my heart, 
.
.
Somewhere hidden, 
.
Somewhere unspoken,
.
.
Is an inescapable desire to cross distance
.
And to do so in a manner worthy of the accomplishment.
.
.
