I Dream of Shadows. . .

I Dream of Shadows. . .

I dream of shadows in the night
And moonlit strolls by a turquoise sea
I dream of lifetimes gone by
When there was only you and me.
I see shimmering drops of water
Like so many wishes I once made
Each shadow holds disappoinments
And depts that are never paid.

I smell softly perfumed breezes
And the nostalgic feelings that they bring
A time of such joyful happiness
And of a magical, mystical thing.
I feel sensations too mavelous
For any words to try to describe
Each feather-light caress ignites-
Fire I thought had died.

I hear words spoken long ago
Sweet whispers in the night
From one who loved so deeply
Turned from shadows to the light.
I know that a lifetime ago
It was you who held my heart
Although we are not together now
In dreams, we're not apart.
