Caught in a Dream

tether

Fragments of our memories

weightless and nimble,

float through the space between us

they twirl through busy streets

dance in the glow of the mid-morning sun

they are silent, intangible

yet their power is somehow unmatched

they form a tether.

those bits and pieces of you and me

that we can't quite remember but can't quite forget

Bind together

so quietly that it's thunderous

and our ears ring out with sparkling remnants of our time

and that tether

it keeps us together, it holds us close when being near isn't possible

so that from oceans away, hemispheres apart

I can reach out and hold you

And everything will be ok
