THE DREAM...

I had a dream

Not again they said

But they wouldn't understand

The feelings of my heart,

The thoughts in my head

 

I was back on the beach

The silent spectator

And there she stood

As glorious as ever

 

Under the moon light

Eclipsing the stars

A grand symphony

A masterpiece of art

 

She moved elegantly

As would an angel

Her face radiant with light

And her eyes did twinkle

 

I took my place beside her

And she smiled at me

But it didn't reach her eyes

They were filled with grief

 

I remember her smile

And the laugh on her face

When the time stood still

And she held my gaze

 

But today 'twas different

The brilliance was gone

The sky changed colour

Darkness gave way to dawn

 

The clouds came in

And it started to rain

Water splashed across her face

Hiding the tears of pain

 

I reached out for her

Knowing that time was short

I knew why she was down

I too had given it some thought

 

Cos every morning I woke

My eyes blinded by her face

And I went about my day

As if running a lost race

 

I wondered where she was

I wondered who she was

Will we ever meet?

Or will I forever be at a loss

 

How long I thought

Will this go on,

Will these mesmerizing dreams

Torture me on

 

I held her close

As close as could be

Cos more than anywhere else

This was where I wanted to be

 

It was then that I decided

That no matter what brings the future

This dream is and shall

Forever remain my greatest treasure

 

Looking into her eyes

I made her this promise

Held her smiling face in my hands

And sealed it with a kiss.
