"Poems are forever floating through my mind and if I don't catch them pin them to the page they are gone forever and what good is that?"

Breakthrough

Maybe it doesn't always happen
like a dam giving way
water crashing through the cracks
with irrevocable certainty

Maybe it is more like the carving
of a great canyon over time
atom by atom the winding river
erodes the stubborn rock
revealing a path of patience

Maybe awakening isn't
the scream of a bedside alarm
and we are meant to linger
in the in-between a little longer
so that we can remember our dreams
