Just A Dream

Just A Dream

I sleep on your side of the bed

my head resting on your pillow

I feel closer to you that way

I sleep

 I dream

I toss

 I turn

searching for you

in a room

devoid of warmth

am I in REM sleep

or deep into R.E.M.

the man on the moon is calling

am I dreaming

are you here

I feel you touching me

 I hear you whisper

I hear music .. sacred chanting

 I hear you laughing

I am falling ~ falling

deeper ~ deeper

into you .. onto you .. beyond you 

I awaken ~~ you are gone
