Dream by Zachary Furr

Your light came to me in a dream
You seemed to me like an angel
Light seemed to glinsten all around you
And life was being built around you
I was in a deep dark hole
And I only saw you for an instant

For that instant time seemed to be stopped
As if God wanted me to climb the hole
To locate you
So I began to climb
I tried to climb
And yet the effort was futile.

The well that I was in was smooth
There were no finger holds
There were no cracks
The walls were smooth and hard.

I tried calling out
But the dust caught my throat
There was no water
And I had no spit

Your beauty it seemed to me
Was but a moment in time
That I, the damned, should
Remember your light forever
