My Dream

As I stood before a shimmering fountain

the trickling waters pooled in its basin,

gazing in I witnessed your reflection there,

the view gave me such pause as tears fell.

I turned sadly to depart and there you stood

a smiling face reaching out your gentle hands

and joy overtook me with such conviction

my heart was complete to wish this forever,

and as I awoke, reeling I barely rose up

knowing all my days will be without your love.

No further emptiness is reachable now...
