I Dreamed For a Time

I dreamed for a time, 
as I walked with you, 
that I was an ascendant being. 
Now that you have left me, 
am I doomed to wake?


Either

you were a guide to my lost soul,
leading me from the sewer and swamp,
reminding a confused heart
that I too could glow.

Or

you rained light down upon me,
such that I confused
immersion 
with
absorption,
radiant warmth for internal glow.

So

wait a moment, dear, while
I catch up, deferring
the question, while
I bask in you.
