A Silent Dream

A silent dream once was mine to share with the loneliness of my heart… A silent dream was the only thing that could console the most empty parts… Of a heart that sought so restlessly, to find a love that he alone could claim… Whose sweetness could lift up my spirit, making my heart to sing out her name The silent dream was my only friend for many days and so many years… And inside the walls of this cold, cold dream was found written my heart’s many tears… Yet as a daffodil reaches for the sun…so my heart did reach out to you On that wonderful day when we first met I realized what I now had to do For I had to grasp the reality of love’s happiness that you alone did possess… And I knew that I had found that long-awaited key that would set my heart free from unhappiness The silent dream spoke out in pleasure as a rose feels the long-awaited kiss of the sun… Because it finally tasted a true reality, when my heart your heart had won.
