Dreams of the Sunset City
-
Once upon a time and place I saw a smiling face. Arms took me in an embrace once upon a time and place. I was young and full of woe. You didn’t even know – you were my safe place to go for I was young and full of woe. Even as you held me…

The rain falls and a light shines through the mist. One star burning bright, banishing the shadows. The raindrops tell of better days – different days. Infinite moments, disappearing into the earth.

Last night I dreamed you held me tight and whispered in my ear. I kissed you softly through the night, in heaven with you near. At some point as the morning sun shone on a distant hill I woke and knew the dream was done and lonely was I still. The sweet caress of love…
