I've waited all my life
Staring at the star spotted sky
Tracing my fingers over shooting stars
Watching them burn with baited breath
Eventually
The star I talk to every night
Will fall from its hinges and come crashing down
And shatter at my feet
A safety net of foamy water
Cradles the shards
Fractalled mirrors of my past
Foggy messages from my future
The sharp edges of reality
Lure my subconcious
Instinct over reason
I dive into the sand dunes I know all too well
Huddled, Muffled, smothered in the sand
Where it is safe and warm
Yet still scalding hot and dangerous
My shelter, a false comfort that I choose to endure
Maybe one day I'll emerge
And wipe the sand off my skin
And put all the pieces back together
Before they wash out into the endless sea
