Forever Dreams

Forever Dreams

we had dreams of forever

you and i

and we explored the possibilities

we came together

hearts longing

for solace

peace

sunshine

and joy

i held your hand

you held my heart

and my soul smile

for that brief moment

in eternity

i reflect

with a wavering certainty

looking for answers

to questions

i can not formulate

i do know now

many things

about self

about you

about life

perhaps

i have been down this path

before

for it sure resembles

another place

another time

but this time

i heard music

and the rhyme

of the lyrics

would not allow me

to excuse it

for my heart was dancing

prancing

with a wonder

of what tomorrow may bring

know that you

have given me song

and i sing

for i realize now

with my eyes wide open

that i will continue to dream

though this one appears broken

so i take this moment

in my forever dreams

to thank you

with the utmost humility

for above all

your civility

makes the dreaming worthwhile

and though our styles may differ

our walk may differ

our thought may differ

our embrace may differ

our desires may differ

our spirits may differ

our lives may differ

almost completely

i am replete

for i still yet have

forever dreams
