When We Awake Poem by Paul Reed

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
From ‘Landslide' by Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac,1975.

We sat at the water's edge in silence
Watched the surface ruffled by the breeze
And for a moment, there was nothing,
Nothing but the past and what the future sees;

This whole life has been but a dream
One fallen into gently from above
And one we must slip out of
When we awake from love.
