I Found Her Again in My Dreams
Drifting in the ether, dreams attenuate my focus,
as they infuse my floating comfort with sedation,
like a haze of imagery, in and out of vision,
a sense of what’s happening, yet apart I remain,
as dreams form more conclusively, starkly clear,
and I regain my clarity of sight and sound.
As an observer I experience,
my senses alive yet rendered incomplete,
as if held back for fear of waking,
and I drift with their course, inquisitive,
and meet souls I have never seen, yet who are familiar,
as I interact, discuss and draw conclusions.
I feel love, I feel questions arise,
a woman I have loved yet new to my eyes,
and I am nestled here in the warmth of her life,
as if withheld I have been, and excited to be again,
as dreams carry me further, as words echo in my mind,
knowledge I must assign a place in consciousness.
Lucid dreaming I waver between
the reality of my room and dreams
that assume my place in timelessness,
across lives and space I drift,
voices resound, their words profoundly important,
as I desperately try to hold them.
This love I’ve found, so dear,
yet so out of place in my time,
but from another life she was with me,
a yearning now seems wrong,
yet its glow has so reached my heart,
I feel apart, and grieve the loss.
I know I have seen her before,
many times in dreams,
and the life we shared echoes strong,
the happiness we shared can’t be wrong,
its just the time from which I see her marks the memory,
and sadly I say goodbye, as if soon we’ll be reunited.
I awaken in the glow of her face,
her beautiful skin and smile mine to hold,
so long ago, perhaps, but in timeless truth a moment,
a glimpse of yet another life and love in sharing,
as now appears in my present room,
and nothing seems as it is, as we assume.

So lovely, beautiful and spiritual, Tony. May you reunite and live in perfect bliss and happiness. Take care dear poet.
Thanks Phyllis, glad you enjoyed it. Take care.
Tony again, beautifully expressed. We two have similar dreams, for I to have been lost and found by a lady who fills my heart and soul with such hope for reuniting, I have no idea who she is, I just see, touch, kiss, hug and play with her in that dark deep sleep. I awaken so rested, smiling often, never wanting to wake from it. Eternity somewhere she waits for me, could she be my lady from a past life? I pray that when I breath my last, I will as Steve Jobs dying words were. Wow, Wow……Well done Tony, as usual you move me with your mind.
I do believe its a past life connection, as the lady I’ve been with many times. The memory is strong and the connection palpable. We may visit in our dreams but will always be linked regardless of time. Cheers!
