3:04 a.m. on a friday

Candle, am i a dream?
by the waterfalls of heaven, does some
grand dreamer imagine my own, "i am,"
that i should take care lest any step
be the snap of the branch that cracks
open the dream, and i
be no more than a fantasy forgotten?

how can i tell i'm real, Candle?
my dreams once took to life too.
do you recall?
so how do i tell i am not a thing
that lives and breathes by the dictation
of a greater whim?
sometimes i feel as thin as air, after all.

as usual, you offer no answers.
i will live as if i matter somewhere,
even if i am only a dream.
some dreams have moved me, after all.
and i would mean something.
i, a simple dream,
can touch the dreamer too.
