The Edge of Dreams

For Laura, who inspires unrequited love and patience for her to dream of me.

When you dream
listen to the world’s heartbeats,
I promise you’ll find mine loudest
amidst the greatest, silent wish

If you forget
all the goodbyes,
and remember the serenades
that confess and still free my soul

When you dream
take me with you,
to where all that could breathe —
spreads a tear on Spring’s breeze
