Empty Dreams
by Acean
Upon waking
suddenly
i found tears in my eyes,
immediately turning them
towards the place
that you slept,
i prayed to the Gods
you wouldn't see me
as i wept.
i snuck away from
our fire
taking my parchment and quill
wanting to face the fears
that had made my heart so ill.
i was dreaming, i
know,
this much i recall.
It was a bright and sunny day
you were hunting for our food
and you looked so
beautiful, strong and tall.
Your eyes sparked
clearly
of the warrior in your soul
and your concentration
seemed unwavering as you
pursued your goal.
i remember thinking
how natural you looked
and how strong.
i wanted to reach out,
to touch you and
it wasn't until i tried
that i realized something
was very wrong.
i called out your
name,
"Xeeennna!!!"
and you didn't even
blink an eye.
i wondered how could
you ignore your bard so and
i cried out to you asking, "why?"
i tried to move
towards you
but something kept me rooted
and i couldn't get free
then i realized as you
leaned against me
that i was a tree!!
Thats all i recall
and maybe i don't really
want to remember anymore
i just hope you'll always
be here, Xena, across the fire
seeing me, hearing my stories
helping this bard's soul soar..
