A Weightless Heavy

I’ve gone in to the night

And come back with my

Dreams in a knapsack

That, weightless as a result,

Carried me into the heavens.

Yet what could be weightier

Than a dream unfulfilled,

Or a day without something 

Done that wasn’t pre-planned? 

Carry me again into your

Deepest sleep and I will

Promise to be faithful

To my heart.
