What Dreams May Come

fair maiden who sails on each crested wave drawn from the deepest ocean currents galloping white steeds land on golden sands within each beat, feelings growing stronger exploring beauty within this magically universal dream developing within every passing moon - joining with shadows we unite souls I see a starlight shining so brightly, blinking destinies promise to join our kingdoms each one bringing you closer into my heart a thousand gifts wrapped over and back as silk-white ribbons inside out beams upon your grace the greatest pleasure is dancing with you under the moonlight gaze in the distance, at horizon's edge, a darkness storm clouds approaching from the north I see the fear in your eyes as the moon turns ebon white steeds neigh in the wind, fearful of the tempest a memory? or an omen of things to come? you release my hand, thunder shakes our universe lightning illuminates, casting ghostly shadows I call to you, fair maiden, as you mount your beast the windstorm drowns out my ardent pleas what is this spectre that stands between us? come back, come back o fair maiden of light alas, the fantasy fades, I stand alone in black of night waking up the eyes sting, salt-based missing someone special with whom I shared once upon a time lost inside the loneliness, nowhere to turn stuck within a bubble of feelings where someone will never leave or hide away standing for a moment in the cold morning mist listening to the crows call haunting thoughts drift upon a cloud with picture memories stored, deeply beautiful the dream, the dream, it taunts me when I sleep no longer sure of what is real and what is illusion tonight, I will close my eyes once again and pretend- you're still here, with me A collaboration between Liam Mc Daid and The Seeker
