Somewhere in a Dream

Somewhere in a dream
	out beyond the azure skies
I saw a man in a shroud of light
	and love shone in his eyes.

His features were soft and muted
	as if seen from behind a veil
But somewhere deep within my heart
	I remembered each detail.

Emerging from the mist
	of a time long ago
Memories swept across my mind
	and feelings began to flow.

I was filled with the remembrance
	of a love I thought I’d lost
And I reveled in the joy
	that our paths had once more crossed.

Moving across a soft blue sea
	we at last were face to face
Not with arms, but with hearts and souls
	we once again embraced.

From the heavens rained eternal love
	which drenched our starving souls
And where once we were two apart
	we now were one and whole.

But, alas, I awoke from my dream
	and was filled with such despair
I realized that my long-lost love
	was never really there.

In the inky blackness that was that night
	I never felt so alone
Where was that man from my dream
	from whose eyes our love light shone?

I began to weep for that vision lost
	and prayed to God above
That one day I would find this man
	and bask in his endless love.

Then from the darkness a hand reached out
	and wiped the tears from my face
In that moment I knew he was there
	offering a warm embrace.

Many of us never expect it
	but sometimes our dreams come true
I know in my heart it happened to me
	from the love I share with you.
