In the images of my sleep, I imagine
You still here talking with me, though
Our conversation has long passed
But it continues in my dreams
Within periodic awakenings from my
Sleep, images of life’s realities strike me
Some make me laugh, others make me weep
And they continue within the images of my sleep
I hear a train in the distance; clear is the
Sound it makes, resonating from the tracks
Its message is obvious, as it travels off into
The distance; the noise of the wheels fading
Into seeming loneliness and isolation, and
Then becoming silent – yet the nostalgic
Feeling that is leaves with me, and the memory
Of the of the train’s whistle, remain within my mind
I feel your presence, like a glowing ember, that even
From a distance permeates my being with its warmth
A soul that radiates with a desire to communicate;
To understand and to be understood – and this desire
Remains within my dreams
I drift off deeper into the images of my sleep
With all of it’s fears and hopes – and you remain
Patiently, as I communicate more openly and
Truthfully and my defenses break down and
My trust in you grows
And, though I succumb to my world of dreams
For you have long gone – yet you still remain
Within the images of my sleep
