Charles Messina Poet Verse

I Dreamed a Dream

I dreamt a dream...with eyes awake 
As I walked alone...round dreamer's lake 
I dreamt that I...was in the crowds 
Of white winged angels...above the clouds 
Watching someone...whose near their death 
Gasping, panting...for his last breath 
Watching, waiting...for his eyes to close 
To give him wings...when his heart slows 
Above the clouds...he'll soon fly free 
I dreamt I died...that soul was me
