A wave breaks on a distant shore and all sound stops forever. No voice is carried on the breeze. No one tells me, “I’ll be home soon.” Somewhere on the horizon a bird flies toward the sun. But it drops lower, and darkness is all that’s left to meet its tired wings. My feet drag…

One day I woke and looked around but everything was different. Unfamiliar shapes loomed in the morning sun. Had everything around me changed as I dreamed of someplace better? Rising slowly from my bed, I cried as memories like raindrops fell through the shadows of my mind. To my left an open window showed me…

I ran through a golden field, the grass beneath my feet soft as satin, sunlight on my face, a warm and gentle breeze lightly stroking my hair. I heard a laugh like little bells and reached out toward the light that shone from everywhere. I stopped, breathless. Before me was an open door, a staircase…

The rain falls and a light shines through the mist. One star burning bright, banishing the shadows. The raindrops tell of better days – different days. Infinite moments, disappearing into the earth.

A breeze caresses my cheek and I hear waves breaking on a sandy shore. Breathing deep the salty air, I take one step into a beam of sun. And I know that it has shone forever. I hear your voice and I walk until the sand gives way to stone beneath my feet, and I…

The little bird watches from a gilded cage. Singing songs of sunny days, falling leaves, pouring rain. A cold wind blows the treetops, and the little bird watches. Her wings open, ready, but never does the wind lift her up. And she sings on. The gilded cage hangs in the window. I listen to the…
