Dream

What did you try to do?     I walked You walked?     I walked You cannot walk     It was a dream, and when I dream      I walk, I do, did not forget      I still have legs so strong Where is your chair?     Over there He waves, he is not really here I hold him tightly and I fear his dreams, his nightmares every time He is still dreaming, it seems What did you want to do? Swim You swam? I swam You cannot swim I swam, it was a dream, the stream was strong. My strokes were powerful and long, I need to get there, need to get there.... I take his chair. I bring him back and I am sad I want him in my bed Not here, in mental hospital This gentle loving man Will you come back to me? I will Promise you come back to me? I will I wait for you, come back to me? I always will, you are my home. I'm growing strong again, it won't take long. I dream my way to you And then you smile and kiss me warm I cry silently in your arms and say goodbye Tomorrow I am here with you I always do, till you come home October 9, 2016
