Just A Dream
I sleep on your side of the bed
my head on your pillow
I feel closer to you
I sleep, dream, toss, turn
in a room devoid of warmth
am I in REM sleep
or deep into R.E.M.
I feel your touch
hear you whisper
music. sacred. chanting.
you laughing
me falling
deeper. deeper.
onto you. into you. beyond
you.
I awaken
you are gone
