I CRIED TO DREAM AGAIN

I CRIED TO DREAM AGAIN


I cried to dream again -
You were there
I saw you in my dream
I could touch you, hear you,
make you smile - then
you told me you could not
stay, I held your hand –
you could not take me
with you.

I cried to dream again,
I buried my head into
my feather pillow –
whispered - dream - dream...
but, nothing happened.
I continued to whisper -
dream – I want to see you
one more time – one second

Your eyes stared into mine,
You turned away, as your
slender legs walked quickly
not held up by strong arms –
as I watched you I knew
I would never see you here
again –

You turned to wave good
bye – you were with me in
my dream, here – in this
room - you were
looking at me,
staring at me - laughing.
So I whispered to feathers
between cotton, as tears
covered a pillow.

I cried to dream again
you were no longer sick
you were a picture
stored in black and white.
