as I slept and dreams with wings of downy-soft enfolded me,
and cradled longings drifted off somewhere-
starry midnight darkness held no threat for me at all-
for you were there.

it was as if my sleeping mind was on a silvered tether,
leaving me with little choice-
but to trust that I would travel safely out until,
I heard your voice.

and then in magic ways, the darkness lifted just enough,
that I was able to perceive the comfort of your safe embrace-
andtaste of sweetest wine was in my mouth as night,
revealed your face.

if dreams are coded truths that I must use my heart to read,
then I have chosen to decipher mine in ways that lovers do-
and know, upon my waking, that my soul will always, always,
find its way to you.
