capture

there is always that one memory that catches up with you
the one that takes your breath away
it finds you and leaves you behind
breathless

up above the clouds you find a tear from a dream you lost long ago
a souvenir that claims your soul
and leaves you paralyzed

you cannot fight
you cannot face the terrors of the truth
but you can learn and believe that your fear will melt away
that time will come and comfort you
reawaken

as the light shines on and on
hope flutters in your heart and changes everything
suddenly that fate you succumbed to changes, rearranges, and submerges
beneath your feet
