If I...

If I could sing
I'd wisp notes to the blind
Dreamlessly appeasing their dark
As if I could change their world
Driving pins & needles
Into their souls...

Another night
Trapped in pages
Intoxicated by wine
Lonely behind characters
Describing another life
A hero with purpose
How I dare...
To dream

If I could speak
As memories to alzheimer's
Would they wake to remember
Am I merely  adrift in dreams
Beyond the end of hope...

Another night
Trapped in pages
Intoxicated by dreams
Lonely behind characters
Describing another life
A hero with purpose
How I dare...
To hope
