I am a dream
 

I? I am a dream.
You?  You are the wind
That blows me,
Bends me to your will.
You are the sun, caressing,
Searing.
You are the sea; whipping,
gnashing, lashing, washing.
I am your plaything,
Tossed, abused, loved,
Used.
Kicked to the curb.
Left to awaken dry,
Parched, singed,
Coated with brine.
