Missing a Dream

Why do I miss
a distant illusion
in the mist?

A few lazy spring,
early summer days
seemingly conjured
by the sun's bright rays
and, just maybe,
some drug-induced haze...

Spectacular sunsets
and moonlight water dance
shared without romance?

Just two souls
side by side
from morning low
to the rising tide,
climbing boulders
on their own,
but for a few moments,
feeling at home...

Adolescent recklessness
or a glimmer of innocence
beneath the mask
of two jaded strangers
striving for
just friendship...

Or really...?

What, why, how...

I don't know any more
than I knew before,
except that caution
lives at my door
and that I am transformed,
for better or worse.
