A Dream?

Last night I lay resting

When sleep overcame me

I found myself falling

Down into a dream,

The darkness dissolved

Into warm summer meadows,

Where bright wild flowers

Were verging a stream.

I found I was walking

With you there beside me

You were casually talking

And holding my hand.

Then I turned toward you

To find you were smiling,

Right there at that moment

Was all that we planned.

I remember the fragrance

Of the dew on that meadow,

The song of the stream

That went rippling by.

I can still feel the warmth

Of your hand round my fingers

And the rise of your breast

As we kissed with a sigh.

I awoke to the pounding

Of rain on my window,

With that old Monday feeling

The start of week blues.

That dream was still with me

And filled me with wonder,

When I started to dress

There was grass on my shoes
