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.
