His climb ended today
Reality reminded him to stop
This abyss becomes his norm again
Settle in, enjoy this darkness
Cheered on by past escapees
Maybe- just maybe it was his time
A hope was given
Perhaps his chance to advance
Excited dreams get born
A breath of new air in his lungs
Different clouds, Fresher views
His heart raced with each planned step
The icing being in her embrace again
Unfiltered love reconnected
She would be there waiting for his lips
His dead passion now aflame with escape
Then, the foolishness of want ended
He crumpled back down into the present tense
Facts and failures grounded him
The promise of content always denied to the dreamer
Images of the Fantasy Island remake with Malcolm McDowell pilot episode ran through my head…Fantastic!
