Repost - The Dream



Poets United Midweek Motif - The Day of the Dead
This is a repost of something I wrote a long time ago.


A Dream
In memory of Joan Heys.

I dreamt about a distant place,
All white, yet strangely warm;
Where all was elegance and grace:
There was presence but no form.

Into this quiet and peaceful scene
A man stepped into view;
He was both strong and cut quite clean.
A woman stood there, too.

He looked at her, and with a smile,
Remembered when they’d wed;
“I’m glad you’ve come. It’s been a while.”
“A friend sent me” she said.

Happy with the eons spanned
They embraced and gently kissed;
Then they turned, and hand in hand,
Slipped off into the mist.

  2. On the Day of the Dead, I'm happy you revived this poem. I experienced something similar at age 12, so delight in the narrative arc and love and gentleness and hope in this poem.
