In Dreams, We Danced In Flowered Meadows

In Dreams, We Danced In Flowered Meadows I wrote you, yet only to find silence cast into shadows were clear sun once beamed Was hiding so far away your defense from my love that saddened earth and sky screamed Where moonlight once graced our united stars now empty sky holds its long, darkened veils Polishing my hope, I ignore these scars sending me through nights, red-hot burning hells Stay alive, if need be wait in shadows my heart endures, that Fate may give relief In dreams, we danced in flowered meadows WE AGAIN LOVE AND DEAR LIFE HOLDS NO GRIEF! Writing you, to rekindle love's fire upon ashes of its funeral pyre R. J.

Absolutely beautiful!: "Stay alive, if need be wait in shadows my heart endures, that Fate may give relief In dreams, we danced in flowered meadows WE AGAIN LOVE AND DEAR LIFE HOLDS NO GRIEF!" Perfect as any lines ever written.
