And I Dreamed

Abandoned at sea,
Tired and forlorn
I collapsed on the beach
The warm sand my pillow.
As the waves tumbled ashore,
I  fell into a troubled sleep.

Sometime that night I dreamed 
Or so I thought.
I watched as Jesus  drew near me 
like a whisper on a breeze
And, gently,  covered me with 
the softest blanket  of
Living Waters.

Oooh. This one demands thought. Covered with "Living Water" I believe means that, instead of drowning you are comforted. On the other hand it could mean that the "Living Water" has brought you to Jesus where you will live forever more at His right hand. Excellent poetry!

Nice colorfully descriptive write. The first verse reminded me of "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift.
