The Dream of a Dream

By Khan 2007

.

I felt a stutter in my soul

As I awoke today.

In my dreams the words did dance

My emotions came to play.

.

The words that I had longed to feel

Gave peace to my yearning bones.

And though I surely heard them

I still found myself alone.

.

The night's sweet mistress had come to me

To tuck me in last night.

She gave to me these visions

Very much to my delight.

.

The touch that I could never feel

Felt as real as it could be.

The truth that was never there

Came to shower down on me.

.

The face of my dream within this dream

Had a magnificence to adore.

And yet, I was quite astonished

As we had never met before.

.

So now I crave the day to end

And give to me this light

So I can slumber in my room

And dream, once again, tonight.
