Dreamlike Ethereal

Scratchy scribbles, lost allure.
Shelter away in the womb.
Dreamlike ethereal, ask and be awed;
Where is what it was?

In the castle - or the kind.
In the tassel - or the time.
Fear is a framework;
Here's where I lie.

Why leave them lonely?
Am I so very vital?
Why go without goodbyes?
Am I any good at giving?

There's a skirt that swirls,
And a girl that twirls;
I saw her in the mirror.
I see me here and there.

Time and space are strewn and struck -
They don't mean much to me.
Dreamlike ethereal, the days intersect;
Somewhere someone's something.

Fragments forgiven,
Softly she circles...
Receding horizons, step lightly or lurch.
Trust in your tremors.

Shapes are shifted ever so easy,
When the outline's sketched in ink.
Heart and soul are inmost pages,
Bound between two planks.
