Last Night I Dreamt

I dreamt I dreamt you’d gone away,
I dreamt I woke and you were here,
I dreamt I wept with happiness -
But when I woke, the truth was clear…

Dear Jack I relate so well to these well-chosen words. I didn't 'dream' of their power when I began reading this poem. Hope you are well. I'm lagging a little at the poetry and the reading. love, Kathy
