Living With a Memory- a Face In My Dreams

Living with your memory… 
Is like music created by a feathery, cool breeze 
Like soft flowing blue waters… 
Across calm ocean waves 
Like fingertips… 
Softly brushing wisps of hair from my face
 
Emotions take me on a nostalgic journey 
As I watch you singing in soft moonlight
I thought I saw you pass… 
As the waves rippled and rolled into the shore 
I thought I smelled your scent… 
In the fragrance of the flowers in the air 

As I stand here - I wonder 
Can you hear my heart? 
As you walk thru' my memories and thoughts 
The thought of you haunts me night and day
Like riding on the wings of clouds 
Elusive thoughts fill my soul 
As I clutch my vision of you to my breast 
Leaving me with a  burning seed of fire
 
Oh...how I long for your return 
How I wish I knew who you were 
A face not so clear...
As I walk with you in my dreams
