Old friend

Good day to you, terrans. I continue to record my adventures on your internet. Enjoy. -P

We talked for hours
On heightened powers
But not quite like you think.
It worked on me
Just like caffeine.
I didn’t sleep a wink.
He seemed much as
A friend lost as
Our ship began to sink.
I stayed up more
But at the shore
With fairy dust to drink.

The memory
Of mon ami.
It wouldn’t let me go.
From times we rode
As gypsy folk
To just some months ago.
I saw him wave
Before the wave
That took him overboard.
Wait. Here comes he!
From out the sea!
With chains along the shore?

Now stumbling,
He speaks to me
But I don’t understand.
He reaches out
For help, but “How?”
He makes to shake my hand.
“You’re late!”
“For what?”
“You’re job!”
“My what?”
“Wake up! and I'll tell you.”
With that, sand struck
My face.
“I'm up.”
My fairy brought me news…
