I Dream Silent Dreams
I lay in repose, in calmness and quietness,
silence and stillness, words unspoken;
only the flutter of my heart and breath,
as still as a photograph, lost in my thoughts.
And in my solitude I dream silent dreams . . .
I dream, I go riding a black horse,
a cloud of dark shadows is my hair;
I wear a deep green velvet coat,
the snow is falling, falling, falling.
And in my stillness I dream silent dreams. . .
A thousand soft petals fall and scatter,
beautiful red roses twirling, swirling;
they descend fair and calm and silent,
laying on the pure snow covered ground.
And in my obliviousness I dream silent dreams . . .
My soul dwells up above the clouds,
the turmoil of my life forgotten;
I am voiceless and at peace with life,
listen, is that my silent weeping.
And I lament that I dream silent dreams . . .
