I remember dreaming
Tomorrow Behind tomorrow
Promises suspended In the amber of time
Days without faces Futures without names
Horizons bending Away from my hands
Reaching Reaching
Chasing my shadow Through revolving doors
Clocks eating clocks Hours swallowing hours
Yesterday Wearing tomorrow's skin
A thousand futures Flickering In the eye of the infinite
Felt good to dream
To believe To become
To hear the colors Of things not yet born
Taste the sweetness Of unwritten days
Plant little eternities Along the way
Promises Buried deep
Some for me Some to keep
But the brightest The deepest
Echoing Through every version of me
Every mirror Every possibility
The life we would share Still waiting to begin
Those beautiful dreams I wanted to awaken
With you
OUR CASTLE
Turn the hour Inside out
Walk through the sound Where the stars pour down
OUR CASTLE
The sky beneath The ground above
Time dissolving Into Love
One door Still opening
Me and you
Youth
Borrowed infinity
An endless corridor Of unopened doors
Forever stretching Forever folding
Then suddenly
Decades Falling through decades
The child in the mirror Wearing an old man's eyes
Watching yesterday Become tomorrow
Tomorrow Become goodbye
Some dreams Became flesh
Some breathed Some danced
Golden afternoons I still carry
Grateful for the dreams That came alive
We lived inside them While they lived inside us
Dreaming awake Awake inside dreams
Others Never opened
Doors without rooms Songs without sound
Unborn futures Circling around
Ghosts of lives We never lived
Learning Learning
To let go
Loosening Unwinding
Fingers releasing The edges of time
Dreams Health Friends
Faces fading From photographs
Empty chairs Speaking in silence
The life imagined Changing shape
Shadows growing younger As the body grows old
Time running backward Years racing ahead
Faster Faster
The vessel The vessel
Bone and breath Skin and electricity
A temporary architecture Of borrowed atoms
Walls becoming windows Windows becoming sky
Somewhere Beyond the eyelids
A doorway Without a door
Another frequency Beneath the heartbeat
Preparing to leave Preparing to rise
Another horizon Behind the horizon
Through the ceiling of existence Into the next Great unknown
OUR CASTLE
Turn the hour Inside out
Walk through the sound Where the stars pour down
OUR CASTLE
The sky beneath The ground above
Time dissolving Into Love
One door Still opening
Me and you
And I pray
Beyond the turning Beyond the flesh And its disappearing years
That wisdom waits Behind the veil
Every scar Becomes a window
Every sorrow Another color
Every failure Another key
To doors I couldn't see
Unfulfilled dreams Still drifting
Through folds Of unborn time
A castle Suspended
Between what was And what might have been
Stone by stone Within my mind
One regret One hollow chamber Inside my heart
One dream I thought I'd failed
The castle I promised
You
I miss you
Like day Misses sun
Like night Misses moon
Like wolf Its howling mate
Like bird Its nest
Like a rainbow Its missing spectrum
Like a melody Its vanished note
Like the Spirit I Am
Without Home
And somewhere
Beyond the prism Beyond the skin
Our Light bodies Intertwining
A thousand colors Beyond the spectrum
Your frequency Through mine
No clocks No calendars
No fading photographs No final departures No unfinished goodbyes
Only us Only Light
Only eternity Opening its eyes
And our castle Waiting
Waiting
But something Something turning
The mirror Inside the mirror
The past unfolding Through the future
The future pouring Through the past
I see the child Inside the old man
The promise Inside the dream
The walls I thought were missing
The doors The rooms The life between
All those years While I reached For tomorrow
Tomorrow Was standing beside me
While I searched For forever
Forever Was happening
With you
And the castle Not merely waiting Beyond the veil
Not only imagined In distant eternity
The impossible castle
We built it
Stone by stone Day by day
With these hands In this world
Through every sunrise Every fading blue
While the clocks Were eating the hours
While I believed The promise unfinished
We were living Inside its walls
We built it
We actually Built it
HERE
OUR CASTLE
Turn the hour Inside out
Walk through the sound Where the stars pour down
OUR CASTLE
The sky beneath The ground above
Time dissolving Into Love
One door Still opening
Me and you

rewritten using my methodology from original thoughts as re order below
Original...
I remember dreaming
promises tomorrow held
days that would never arrive that seemed so far away
I'd work hard to fulfill while chasing my tail
it felt good to dream and know one day I'd see those dreams come true
it was a deep promise within and. most especially the ones I wanted to share directly with you
life's not an eternity although on youth it seems to be
and decades pass more and more quickly and dreams disipate that didn't materialize and thankful for those that did and felt dreamy while living through their fruition the one not fulfilled you start to let go
relingiushing the grip on those dreams, your health, your friends, the life you dreamt of as the fleeting life we live speeds up and we only more quickly prepare to launch from within these vessels and into the great next journey
and how I pray there i will be wiser in every way and share those dreams yet fulfilled and a castle build you as promised this one regret only I've lived
I miss you like the day misses the sun, as the night the moon, as a wolf it's howling mate, as any bird it's nest, and As The Spirit I Am, Home.
In our Light bodies we'll be together for eternity and our castle awaits us there. The amazing part of this drama is we actually truly did fulfill it and build it here !
