A Starry Nights Sky



A starry nights sky and a dreamer dreams
The dream begins
Soft warm summer's breeze gently caresses her face
Pools of light soak through her hair
The cry of feeling, emotion, drifting in the wind
The caring touch from love gently strikes a cord in the heart
The lovers' embrace
Deep soft kisses of the soul
Kindling the fire of life, love, forever
Sprits fly, eternity hovers close
And the threat of daybreak is always near
Sound breaks the silence
And the dream is shattered
Reality sets in and the heart remembers still
The love that is lost in the dream
The bitterness of the day sets in,
Leaving the warmth of the dream behind
To the dreamer,
Which is the dream and
Which is the nightmare.
