Within a Dream, I Love You, Was Heard

Within A Dream, I Love You, Was Heard Of short duration, joy in our loving dreams Of Lust and Love- Both fuel deeper desires With Loss, wading behind in the flowing streams And Longing- flaming in its own Fires. Yet when fine and fair weather holds its sway We sing and dance never seeming to tire And upon that sweet beach in Heavenly Bay Nothing can make us think of future rage and ire. Wanting to be that permanent snow far up top And a mountain in its great majestic power. Our Love swears that nothing, can ever it stop Until doom, doom dares to invade its bower. Once upon that sweet beach, in heavenly bay. I heard her, "I love you", so tenderly say! R.J. Lindley, Spring 1972 (1.) "bow·er" 'bou(?)r/ noun 1. a pleasant shady place under trees or climbing plants in a garden or wood. synonyms: arbor, pergola, grotto, alcove, sanctuary; gazebo "a rose-scented bower" Note- This one, was a golden angel that in my foolish youth I messed up! Yet life had so much more in store , for living is about mistakes, learning and surviving.
