Dream Lost O Eye of night see my fate Look down with saddened gaze Wait not for me who is late Wake me not from this haze Dream lost in autumn's mist Give way to slumberous night Summer's plight reminisced Winter's dawning comes twilight O Eye of night look my way Do not this my plight forsake Give me hope in dream's soothsay Still my rest and sorrow take Dream lost in forever bliss I Escape not from my fate Lost now in despair's abyss Love's sweet kiss do I await If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us. |

I find myself writing quite often in an archaic voice. Must be a prvious life trying to come out. Thanks Nan! If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us. |
