Dream Wings
 

The night closes near and I let my eyes fall into a restfull slumber
Dreams float around me, my mind a peaceful place in time
Mists pour over and around my body as a light fills my world
Silken strands of happiness tickle my soft skin
and my long hair waves gently in the warm breeze

Looking into a pool of clear cool water
I see my reflection smile back at me
I reach out and touch hands with the image
Water shimmers in perfect silvery rings moving out in perfect rhythm

I stand up and step through the soft green grass with bare feet
All around me fields of colorful wild flowers dance with the wind
Time seems to hold no real place here
The sun rises in all its beautiful glowing glory
And just as quick sets in the west, casting all in warm rays of passing light

Then I am blanketed by the velvet black night sky
with its tiny diamond stars
Moonlight splashes its pale touch to the Dream

Standing high, high above the rest of the world
I look out over the snow-capped mountains and the calm night behind them
A soft melody rides along the cool breeze

I close my eyes and smile as I open my arms and take it all in
A sudden warmth, a close sweet smelling body presses to mine
Strong gentle hands run the length of my arms
and join my hands in tiny embraces
I whisper softly his name and he answers with a light kiss on my soft lips
My heart pounds hard inside my chest, skipping occasional beats
I whisper his name again and brush my lips to his
I long for the man
I have waited so patiently for him
I love him.

I open my eyes and he has gone
A small tear falls from my eyes and I look down from my moutain
into the deep valley below
I smile and spread my arms out as far as I can
I step out and glide into the air
Falling freely and with no doubts
I fall and fall
And no end comes in sight
Freely falling in the name of all that is good, all that is love, all that is him

Please do not wake me

Please let my Dream last forever

Let me soar high above the world in my happiness
Soar with my wings of Love
Tenderly woven wings of Light and Hope
My Dream...
