Walking In A Dream

Walking In A Dream


I see you when I close my eyes,
and when I dream at night.
Within the dark I hear the sighs
which set my soul to flight!

I feel your touch upon my chest,
your fingers soft and sweet:
The shudders deep within your breast
that stop my heart mid-beat!

I feel you when I must believe
dreams somehow can come true.
This love that's given time to grow
can blossom into you!

Then on that morning when I turn
and see you in day's light,
and feel my love begin to burn
a fierce engulfing white,

I'll touch you oh so tenderly
and fold you in my fire-
I'll kiss the lips that sing to me
from nature's highest spire!

And you, My Love, will ope' your eyes
and sweetly speak my name.
Then all our mad and shouted sighs
will pale before the flame

of sound you've uttered in days' gleam!
My soul will freeze in space.
Then whilst we walk within this dream,
and love begins its pace,

I'll sing a fervent prayer; I'll weep,
to never let me wake!
For now I've laid me down to sleep
my soul is yours to take!
