"The Dream"




From neath the tree I saw you rise;
the light of life now in your eyes.
From under the fence you came to me
and things were as they used to be.

You sniffed my hand in friendship meet;
my life was now, again, complete.
We stayed awhile till moonlight's rise;
then sat as old neath starry skies.

Though time stood still the seasons changed;
together again through sun and rain;
through winter's chill and with spring's first breeze
flowers bloomed for us on the apple tree.

Stories told of days gone by;
apples sliced neath a starry sky.
Stories told of the times we knew;
together forever, me and you.

We touched the sky at the Rainbow's end;
you and I, my eternal friend.
A friendship made; a friendship keep...
and I awoke from dream-filled sleep.
