Night Road

 


I travelled that night road
for far too long,
riding my bus of dreams
all over town. 
In ceremony,
with fragile faith,
I lit a candle,
hoping to feel your presence,
breathing,
all around.

In memory - once again that magic kiss,
the one that showed me all a kiss could be.
As you left this world, you came to me
as I was sleeping.
With the greatest love,
we set each other
free.



for Shay's Word List: Night Road

The man of my dreams, from whom I parted in the 1980's, came to me with love in a series of dreams a few years ago. When I looked online, I saw that he had died around that time. In the dreams, we finally got the loving right, and I knew he finally understood all he had meant to me.

  3. This is a beautiful poem and I do believe the departed come to us in dreams if the heart is open to the visitation. You are a witness to possibilities.

  6. Eloquently woven. Dreams reveal deep longings and desires beyond conscious understanding that art forms like poetry can express best.
