Reality And Fantasy Poem by Barry Middleton

reality and fantasy
mixing with infinity
gently pour into a quiet dream

a simple stream the dawning hour
welcomes now the sunlight's power
as if there is a final secret scheme

a child is standing where I stood
surveying everything he should
perhaps to see through time my hiding place

I wish to help him to be strong
but I know he will get along
but now he cannot know the fate I face

is this a wall or heaven's gate
I guess that I may have to wait
but I see clearly now where I must go

there is just one more bridge to cross
until I am no longer lost
then I discover all I wish to know
