Dream Of Me

Memories of life are fading,
Blown about like leaves in Fall.
Happiness in dreams is jading,
To us all, death comes to call.

Dancing whirlwind, follows quickly,
Hovers low above my head.
Sleep is fearful, body sickly,
Close my eyes and I'll be dead.

Pulled from body into spirit,
Insubstantial, empty shell.
A peaceful calm, though I feared it,
Heaven has replaced my hell.

Spun glass sparkles on winds of time,
Twirl about for all to see.
From the shadows I'll be watching,
Do you think you'll dream of me?
