when i drifted back to waking fields
from my journey through the dreaming
and rolled over in the cloth darkness
still sleep sweaty and misty minded,
i was holding your dream image close
and emeorizing your smiling eyes
before it could fade into consciousness
and evaporate in the glaring sun
dancing through futile blinds beside me.
forever you'll stand there in my heart
waiting for memory to give you form
and step into the warm living light
that you've created inside me.
