Re-United By a Dream

In my dream deep in the night, You called me After so many years Pages of pain unraveled But, I was back again My strength was restored Holding onto you tight I could not let go Trying hard to explain, How it was for me then The day they told me you died The day, my life changed Contorted into something I couldn’t recognize The shock, the daze, the endless grief The regretful unspoken words Now, you returned to me So clearly in my sleep, at a time of rest To feel what it is like to be safe again To re-live who I once was Before the black birds cawed at your grave Somehow we are reunited by a dream That once again, would end But, I know you are waiting Beyond the night, where we will re-unite Heidi Sands 2/26/18
