Rapid Eye Movement Poem by Elizabeth Shield

Somewhere between reality and REM state, I met you again
And your sweet scent made me more senseless
Than I already was
Within myself, I wished that it could never end
But life has snatched you away
And only God and fate can return you to me
So I'll pray for that eventuality
And that the feelings remain
Somewhere between reality and REM state, I found you
And I loved you more there, in one moment
One embrace
Than you'll likely ever know
