In Sacred Dreams

In a sacred dream you returned to me, last night as I walked into the door;

You were waiting for me in the hallway, laying on the tiled floor!

My knees went weak as I dropped to you, and held you ever tight;

I screamed “Oh my Nico, you’ve come back to me, on this very blessed night”!

I rubbed your back and kissed your face, my tears were falling free;

All the years of pain were gone, for I was in ecstasy!

But all too soon you faded out, as my eyes blinked I awoke;

I knew right then it was just a dream, and my heart would still be broke!

Yet, however short these visions be, at least I’m back with you;

For a little while I smile again, for I still love you very true!

It’s oh so hard to wake from them, and find that you’re not here;

But each night I close my eyes and pray, that again you’ll soon be near!
