Words on a sheet

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
