Within a Dream, I Love You, Was Heard
Within A Dream, I Love You, Was Heard
Of short duration, joy in our loving dreams
Of Lust and Love- Both fuel deeper desires
With Loss, wading behind in the flowing streams
And Longing- flaming in its own Fires.
Yet when fine and fair weather holds its sway
We sing and dance never seeming to tire
And upon that sweet beach in Heavenly Bay
Nothing can make us think of future rage and ire.
Wanting to be that permanent snow far up top
And a mountain in its great majestic power.
Our Love swears that nothing, can ever it stop
Until doom, doom dares to invade its bower.
Once upon that sweet beach, in heavenly bay.
I heard her, "I love you", so tenderly say!
R.J. Lindley,
Spring 1972

'bou(?)r/
noun
1.
a pleasant shady place under trees or climbing plants in a garden or wood.

Note- This one, was a golden angel that in
my foolish youth I messed up!
Yet life had so much more in store , for living
is about mistakes, learning and surviving.
