Original DDE™ surrealistic art: “Dream Falls” by: rob kistner © 11/14/23
My back is bent deep
from life’s heavy load
my mind stumbles troubled
by all these forks in my road
my brow is fevered
I can’t find my mellow
I miss the aspen meadows
of crisp golden yellows
should you encounter me
wandering lost as a fawn
my countenance brittle
withered and drawn
know that my soul seeks
the song of the waters
my aching heart needs
be soothed in their arms
so deliver me to snow-melt
to high-mountain waters
sweep me swiftly away
in their crystal blue streams
tumble me joyishly laughing
in their rolling white rapids
then over a waterfall
grand as my dreams
splash me into the current
flow me past western red cedar
my body is ready
my spirit is eager
I will miss you my loves
but no tearful goodbyes
it’s your love I’ll remember
as I’m closing my eyes
so when I’ve grow weary
the final wish that I make
let my ashes ever join
with a deep mountain lake
