Silence - IV

Brendan W Vittum
Silence - IV

Like the boy -
eleven years old,
in a drug-induced

fog

reaching
for a dream - a guitar
materializing
over his bed
when he should be
asleep.

As his fingers
wrapped
around the neck
of this dream?

Dissolved - so now
you dissolve
into the light
you came from.

An illusion, a beauty,
an intellect and
understanding
to perfect
to be real - you return
to the darkness;
nothing
remains

but whispered words

and echos.
