The Dream

Unexpectedly, 
 tired and stretching out from the day
I fell asleep.

A restless, tossing interlude
 in the day that continued without end
and reality was but a dream

Too soon the images truned
 where life and dream
were inseparable.

Standing there
 your specter presence
appeared as if it had never left.

The melody played
 that old favorite song shared
suddenly resurfaced to play.

The embrace so sweet,
 the dance so familiar
awakened quick then gone.
