Our Dream

Oh, silent soul
that never sleeps
as dreams I dream
within the deep.

I go beyond
And question not
the wonder seen
as wonder sought.

I stir again
and wonder why
it seems so real
I can’t deny.

As shadows move
beneath my eyes
And ancient whispers
Release their sighs.

Toward the light
I search for seas
and sail thru them
in pleasant breeze.

In distant stars
your form appears
Transcending light
defeating fears.


In silent thought
of true delight
Two spirits join
in awesome flight.

Reunion’s home
all known before
To stay or roam
through open door.

Before the past
you soothed my tears
The first is last
there are no years.

Again we’ll meet
and take a vow
embrace today
the here and now.
