Wide Awake Dreaming

Just because you have convinced yourself
that your heart is broken
it isn't
It can never be
the heart is spirit
and spirit cannot be broken
You can blind it for a lifetime
but you can never take away it's sight

Just because someone says they don't love you
doesn't mean that love has failed you
Love can not fail
Love is the power keeping cells
in their purpose
Cancer is cells doing their own thing
The pain of love
is the mind doing its own thing
Love is of the heart

Just because I write these words
doesn't make a romantic
an emotional female
longing for the fantasy of
a chemical reaction of the brain
I am that chemical reaction
I was birthed through emotion
and romance is what changes
winter into spring
I am a child of the only thing that matters
and I will play content in the room made for me

Just because dreaming seem to happen while you sleep
do not think that being wide awake is not a dream
Dreams make the impossible possible
it takes the power inside
rubs all the variations into juice
squeezes out all the potential
by the cup
then adds only a teaspoon to your waking life

When you look out into the beauty of the day
and they
the they that have your heart and mind
the ones whom you want, love, and need
settle around you
Sip the hot liquid of being wide awake dreaming
smile and let the wings of the bird
outside your window carry it to them on its wings
