You Were In My Dream

You were in my dream.
What does it mean?
You were by my side when we had to hide.
We saw the shooting stars.
We saw the moon lit glistening lake.
We heard the wind in the trees.
We felt the cold embrace.

You were in my dream.
You were there with me.
You've seen what I've seen.
You were in my dream.
What does it mean?

I see you standing there.
Standing without a care.
Then you turn your head and see me.
You turn upon your feet.
You walk straight up to me.
You stand in front of me.

We're strangers but together we have been?
We're strangers but together we've seen?
We're strangers, never before did we meet?

You look at me so quizzically.
Nodding then shaking your head 
you say to me...

How can this be?
You were in my dream.

Lewis Raynes January 3, 2017 at 11:39 AM Wow, this reads beautifully. Congratulations on first place. A Yorkshire Poet January 3, 2017 at 4:50 PM Hi Lewis, Thanks very much for selecting my poem for 1st place. I'm glad you liked it. You see so many people in your dreams that you have never met. I often think that these people are real, because they have such uniqueness in character and life experiences and that makes me muse the possibility of when they're in your dream are you in their's? Cheers, Tiro.
