Seeking the Refuge of Great and Airy Dreams

Seeking The Refuge Of Great And Airy Dreams Slumbrous my mind glides off into another place seeking the refuge of great and airy dreams. Yet always, always appears my darling your face shining sweetly your bright smile that always beams. There we walk together on soft dewy grass our time romancing amongst the ancient trees. Far too swiftly, dear fleeting time seems to pass my heart asking for more in sad, futile pleas! As gaunt shadows race to invade our retreat time drinks its water from our heavenly stream. Alas! I can never that racing clock beat Or hold the glow of our love's softest moonbeam! I that willfully fight the coming of day. Beg my soul, in this dream to forever stay! Robert J.
