Perfect Illusion

I woke up

It was raining

It was falling hard

Making the sunlight

Translucent

A silver sheet

In motion

It could have still been a dream

So I went back to sleep

The perfect

Illusion

You want

To keep

Godspeed, sister,

there and back again
Certainty is fleeting,

that is why we must have faith

But it’s hard

To find what

Reasons

I should believe

You give me what you can,

I give you what I can,

and we are  made whole by it.

I ask no more than that

with a presence

as changeable

as the weather
perfection is never smooth,

An unpolished

Stone

perfection is kindness

you give to others
I hear you telling me

A whisper

A memory

Against my skin

You will feel better than that

Will I?

Yes,

you just keep living

until you feel alive again

I’ll be a footstep away,

that’s all
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
show me the way
To cut through

This stormy weather

Head stuck in a cycle,

Stuck in a dream,

but completely aware

It's easy

to be miserable

Being happy

takes more work

Veni, vidi, velcro - I came, I saw, I stuck.

Blue cornflowers

bent grass

I just need one good one

Be careful

Or you might

Say something

You actually mean

So rest it well

Lay your head

Until you see it
