I Dream Of Her Poem by Juan Olivarez

I dream of her at night,
Under the full moon's spell.
Under it's soothing magic light,
I see her face so well.

I reach for her, and touch her face,
Though I know it just can't be.
I feel her breath, and her embrace,
I feel she's come for me.

And then her face, slowly fades away,
And all that's left are tears.
Through my window the breaking day,
In glorious display appears.

And I must wait for night again,
To see her loving face.
Then I'll be free from all my pain,
In my mother's warm embrace.
