Softly, your voice calls me from the waking world
and as my eyes close, I smile in anticipation of
you; now your voice is now clearer, and I can see
you standing there before me, just like every night.
Smile, you as you always do, while the sunlight reflects
so sweetly off of your hair as we stand together again,
linked across a hundred miles through my constant
dream, the one I pray each day to see each night.
"Wait," I yell, as you race through the patterns of
my mind, and I push myself through the darkness to
reach your side, emerging into a world that I cannot
find in the daylight hours, where we can be together.
And I try, each night, to keep you from slipping away
though I know that my peaceful moments with you can
never last through the day, though I often wonder if
sleeping forever would hurt if I could see you always.
Sigh, as you tell me we must part, and that you will
always return to me, in my dreams; and this is where
I cry, cry and say that it can't be a dream, every time
I see you, and I wake with a start, tears falling again.
So I push myself up and get on with my day, like
every other day, "And not a single tear will fall today,"
I promise myself, and as I go through my motions I see,
the only thing keeping me going each day becomes you.

You tell of this vision in your dream so well in this poem. I could feel the experience very strongly. I especially like this line in the 3rd stanza:
"Wait," I yell, as you race through the patterns of
my mind, and I push myself through the darkness to
reach your side"
Great write Reiyn!
