In dreams remain

Folder: 
book 15

and in the darkness of my room

     as once again I realize

sleep has fled and I’m awake

     and so be begins a another day

 

memories seem as if a dream

     of what once was so long ago

how I wish I could return

     to what now is lost in time

                                

pictures now just remain

     shadows of what once was

they hold no feelings

     that I can touch

 

cannot hold in my embrace

     hold them then close to me

and theirs fragrance to breathe in

     little more than memories

 

harsh light of day does wash away

     the pictures in my memory

and the longings of the night

     dreams cannot be in the day

 

oh that sleep would claim me

     and in dreams I could remain

and live again in what once was

     that today are far away
