Like A Dream

Slipping quietly from your lofty perch  Of sacred heart and soul, You soared-- Circling and sailing Through dreamswept realms. You searched-- Through soul-less windows  Seeking love's balance In depthless hearts-- hearts with hollow beats whose rhythms were echoed  in empty promises and forsaken vows. You dreamed-- of love unencumbered by chains of remorse formed by rings of gold left tarnished and stained by unfaithful fools. You cried-- Wispy trails of love's laments  Flowing behind you Through feathered verse and prose. Each quill, once spent of its soulful ink, - hollowed by life, - hallowed by tears,  Thus lightened and groomed Taking you higher, Through darkness and light Chasing shadows of love untapped Felt by your yearning heart-- but slipping through hands  held open in supplication  to fate's lonely quest. Then-- Like a dream-- You came To me. Taking me places I have never been, Touching me in places I have never been touched, And loving me in ways I have never been loved before. You are what dreams are made of... ...and you are so very, very loved.
