Dreaming Sweet Dreams

In dreams we can live,

like we’ve never lived before.

In dreams so much can happen,

dreams can bring back,

to us long forgotten days

and bring us back -

to when we were so very happy.

In dreams so much is possible,

so when you close your eyes,

let yourself just drift,

drift into another world

and make it all possible.

As she drifted,

there was a wild flowing river

and crossing it she slipped and slid,

on the smooth rocks beneath her feet,

then as she lost her balance and fell -

down, down a waterfall she tumbled.

There was no fright,

nothing but his face that appeared before her

and then she smiled,

for she had so longed -

to see him again.

He caught her,

then held her in his arms

and they seemed to be flying,

as he gently placed her down ,

upon the river bank.

It was there that she now felt content,

back in his arms again,

they danced to the sweetest music

and once again after so long -

he professed his love for her.

She wanted to stay with him forever,

but he reminded her ,

that this was but a dream,

a chance to be together,

for some wonderful moments,

somewhere beyond the rainbow -

where wishes and dreams come true.

When the sun’s rays,

interrupted her dreams,

she awoke,

no longer sad but happy,

knowing that somewhere out there,

he was swinging on a star -

still loving her from afar.
