by Christian Ward
You thrash like a wild horse
in your sleep. The corral
of dreams not enough to hold
you. What of the prairies
of stars? The meadows
of galaxies? Deserts of dark
matter? Wherever you’ll run,
I’ll reign in the night to let you
aspire to whatever you were
meant to be.

This is lovely. I also sleep with a wild horse most nights 🙂
