MY DREAM AND TIME

Clad in a long white robe 
I smiled back at a young soul
A passing moment of joy
Knowing it would be the last.

Another bed whispered for help
A man, the age of my father
Worried who would care for  
His family, his legacy, when he’s gone.

It was a pour from a fountain.
The sun's heat hit the curtains
And I awoke on a hotel desk 
Met by a long, quiet gaze of a guest.

Then it hit me, I was dreaming.  
The sands of time had slipped away  
Falling through the fabric of my sleeves 
All while I was fast asleep.
