The Dream Poem by Danny Speicher

It wasn't too long ago my heart beat
Sweet melodies and harmonies of love
When that girl was all my mind thought of
And each week I would await when we'd meet

Yet, I find myself now without her charms
Her beautiful face I no longer see
Her arms embrace someone other than me
When I long for nothing more than those arms

The twist of fate is like coming awake
When all I want to do is stay dreaming
Roses still red and the sun still beaming
Unable to perceive what's real, what's fake

If all love occurred once upon a dream
Lord, please bring me to that nocturnal stream
