In sorrow weeping upon your own bed 
I watch you now in sadness despairing 
Upon the pillow of pain lies your head 
Lost in the grief your temple is bearing 

My heart is light and it must come to you 
Fear not the shadow that comes from the storm 
For i do bring light in its golden hue 
To fill with peace your desirable form 

As i sit on the bed open your eyes 
Into sadness Soul i plainly do see 
Take my hand come with me to paradise 
I shall take you where you do wish to be 

I ever show you a beautiful sight 
We are the dream in the still of the night 
                         ~

Upon my bed countless tears i have spilled
I shiver in grief while my heart grows cold
Crushed by pain and promises unfulfilled
Sorrows to burgeon my faint heart 'til old

Please impede my fear and somber weeping
You offer peace from shadows where i dwell
With golden light hold me in safekeeping
Raise me from the darkness in which i fell

My eyes trust the benevolence in you
Your hand offers me strength to leave my bed
Lead me where i shall no longer feel blue
To paradise my Soul pleads to be led

We shall soar there among stars of great height
Lost in our dream in the still of the night
                          ~

You give me your hand and we float away 
Beyond the stars to a land light with dreams 
Hold close to me in each resplendent ray 
You are kissed by a rainbow of sunbeams 

To see the light that now shines in your eyes 
As your smile does light up your sunlit face 
The depth of your Love i now realize 
Come sit with me in dream's blissful space 

In this land of dreams your passion may flow 
Desire is your fire that shall ever burn 
Find all your peace for you know you must go 
When comes breaking day when the night does turn
 
But know you may always feel this delight 
When darkness falls in the still of the night 
                            ~
         
Through a sky glittered with stars we travel
To a rendezvous where our dreams come true
I hold you tight as my fears unravel
Sunbeams of light illuminates my view

Paradise exists and my hope rebounds
As we linger here nestled side by side
Your intimate whispers are revered sounds
My heart shall forget the tears I have cried

This realm of dreams rekindled my sad Soul 
You ignited the flames that warmed my heart
Peace and happiness has made me whole
Each day I shall wait for twilight to start

If you hold my hand my heart shall take flight
When love calls us in the still of the night

Hi Lin, thank you for allowing me to do this collaboration with you. It was a privilege, honour and pleasure. You did make it so easy with me. Welcome to the dreams of the dark man where the light can ever shine. You made this a beautiful write with your gentle words. You knew the concept of the dream so easily and that made the writing easier. May your dreams ever come from the light of Dreamscape. I now wonder what our next offering shall be. Hugs....Mike. XX. Has to be a seven Lin.
