I dreamt of you
We were dancing
Together
I awoke
Feeling as if we were friends
Sobered
To the current experience
That we are enemies
Of sorts
I was annoyed
I wanted to linger
In the Past
In the feeling
Of You
Of Us
Before others contaminated it
With their perversion
Their Definition
Their lies
Before you allowed their poison
To pass through Our Gate
Into Our world
Our very own place
Soon destroyed
Soon devoid
Of all Magic, all Life
The dream
Short in duration
Touched ever so slightly
On the feeling I had
Those many years ago
When I held you
When I held you and the music played
Your arms about my neck
I would let you Be
No words needed
Here in Our world
I held you
You spoke all you needed to speak
Sometimes with Silence
With a sob or two
Sometimes a few
During these moments
I felt you loved me
So deeply...
I could no longer
Fear the Ocean
We would sway
Gently
Side to side
But I would not move my feet
They were rooted
Planted in spot
For You
I would not let you Fall
I would not Break
I would be your Strength
As you battled those who hated me
As you battled feelings you never expressed to me
(But saved them, instead, somewhere within a book I've never read)
I was your Tree
You were the comfort of the Sun
In April
Who clung to me
But in the End
My dear
I broke
Was torn down
Turned to paper
Threatened by the hateful Fire
That fled your Heart
In urgency
Aimed at me
You missed
Here I am
Words on a sheet
Carried by the Wind
To a new place
Where my Love for you, and I
Still meet
Thankful for all moments of pure Love, even those still crossing time and dimension, reviving the Universe with Love's Light, creating new stars and miracles of all kinds everywhere.
I remain,
Lesley
Hallelujah Heartist
