Night sky, deep blue, almost black
Stars shine, moon hangs brightly watching
Silver glow washes over me
As I wait.
Wind whispers of promises to come
Dreams to be dreamed
Trees sway in time with the cool breeze.
Time passes, memories stir
I still wait
For what? I find myself asking.
For love
For a dream lover
One whose caress will send shivers down my spine
To my toes.
One who will sweep me off my feet
My mind laughs at my heart
‘tis foolish dreams you be dreaming,’ it murmurs.
No more foolish than those of many others, I reply
‘True enough’ it answers.
Fading into the darkness go the
Foolish dreams from a foolish heart .
I get up and start walking , no set destination in mind
Just a need to move , to go from here
The place of my dreams
A place of a young girl’s dreams
A place of safety.
But as I grow I know there are places for dreams
and reality isn’t one of them .
Walking towards the silver moon
It seems I'm not fully prepared to give up all hope
I know somewhere out there
My own dream lover is waiting for me .
Childish fantasies may have
No acceptable place in adult society
But without faith and trust
We are left in the harsh cold realm of reality
And everyone needs to get out of the grey sometimes.
I keep walking to wherever my feet want to take me
Over rocks, in shallow water , but mostly on the cold sand
I can feel the sand , so I know it's real
Or is it?
My mind wanders again
Trusting my feet will know where to go
The coolness of the night washes over me
I feel a strange calmness s ettle in me
It’s time
For what? I ask , already knowing the answer
I raise my head and see a figure approaching
He looks familiar though I know I've never met him before.
We reach each other and in the pale light of the night
We stare into each other’s eyes.
Feelings I'd only ever dreamed about overwhelm me
I knew him yet we'd never met
When he smiled and reached for my hand
I understood in that moment, dreams can come true.
I met my dream lover out on a lonely beach
One perfect night.
A wonderful night I will never forget.
A night much like this one.
Standing I reach for the candle lighting the room
And extinguish the flame.
In the still of the night I watch
The man bathed in silver moonlight
And smile
A secret smile.
Sleep washes away the pressures of the day
Leaving his face free from worry
Smiling his own small smile.
I wonder did he believe in dreams?
I leave the curtains open
Allowing the cool breeze to wash over our naked bodies
With a feeling of peace
I lie on the bed next to him
Safe in the knowledge he is real
And dreams can come true
Even when we have almost lost faith and least expect it.
Closing my eyes I let the night’s whispering
Lull me to sleep.
