"I Stretch My Soul"

*

On

This long

Winter's night

I dream of flying

And stretch my soul

On wings of silver threads

To reach some place I recognize

Some place like home

Where I am known

Some place filled with memories

Of a time before I was who I am becoming

I wander in a universe of sparkling lights

Seeking peace in this bit of me I call myself

Exploding to fine dust among the dancing stars

Ready to wake up to the new year

Ready to begin again
