I saw you once... I saw you once in a far off dream, you were laughing across a silver stream, Oh... I remember it well, my heart so swelled, In love so fast I never fell, It was amazing, that look in your eye, a blue more deep than the fading sky. A waterfall? No, it couldn't be, but your hair flowing in the autumn breeze, a deep gold with silver streaks lighting the sun and mountains peaks... But have you ever seen across that stream, brown and drab and never green? I gaze into your evergreen, alive with color at every seam, Could you ever cross that silver stream, and light the path that grants my dream? Or shall I sit here, in this dark of night and gaze into your world of light? Or shall I go across and fight the stream, which keeps me from my beloved dream? What say ye 'O lord of fate? Shall I dwell here in this lonely state? But wait! Do angels play with me? Laugh and mock and suffer me? Or did a dream invade my dreams it seems? Did you really cross that silver stream? Do I hear the sounds of splashing toes against the drop of rains and bows? Or do I hear the sounds of bells abound, to and fro and all around? I hear the bell, I hear it's ring, the morning rays it starts to bring. I awake and hold my pillow tight, afraid to find that lonely sight... But wait! What do I hear? The sound of splashing close and near? I jumped from sheets of salty sweat, to the window sill I bound and leapt! I gazed upon an ageless sight, my dream of dreams came through the night! I leapt from off that lonesome sill and ran against a grassy hill… And then I saw you once... In a far off dream… Jordan Lake © 1999 |
