Here, Now, Forever

"Now I lay me down to sleep"
"Pray the Lord my soul to keep."
I fell into my dream last night,
Before I fell asleep,
"and if I die before I wake,"
"Pray the Lord my soul to take."
I screamed and soared the speed of light,
leaving stardust in my wake.


A winged girl,I was flying with
Her glorious wings unfurled,
The stars screamed by us so fast,
but somehow I slipped out at last.
Enchanted by rearranged memories,
The old house, the old springwood trees,
Captured by the passion of feeling,
My spellbinded mind was reeling.

I thought in my old bed was I still in sleeping,
I fought with my sheets which were on me a' creepin,
They strangled me, tangled me, oh was so fast,
but somehow I slipped out at last.

I awoke, on the floor.

Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for.

This sounds like it may have been a nightmare instead. I'm usually so tired, I'm asleep by "down to sleep." Enjoyed your work. Cheryl
