In
Dreams
"In
Dreams I walk with you,
In
Dreams I talk with you." - Roy
Orbison
Many
of us will have had the experience of feeling the presence of a loved one who
has passed away - even to the point of catching a familiar or exotic
scent. There is so much more to this
life than we can ever comprehend. So,
whether we are just remembering in a very visceral way that soul or whether
they are possibly wanting to communicate something to us is beyond our actually
knowing. Sometimes we perceive these
moments as a comforting hand on our shoulder, a kiss on our forehead, a prayer
for our strengthening. In this positive dream-filled
light, I wrote the following:
In
Dreams - Be Not Afraid
I had a dream
The other night,
A visit from a friend,
A vision so intense and
real
And as close as we had
been,
There was something more
In how she looked
That I could not
comprehend;
Her laughter filled
The atmosphere,
She seemed without a care,
And though I reached
To touch her hand,
I only touched the air,
Still, I caught a fragrance
rare;
In soft but brilliant
lightness,
In and out of view she went
And I wondered as I drifted off,
Did I call, or was she
sent;
It settled all around me,
That smile I knew so well,
And lifted my own spirit,
As back to sleep I fell;
I still can feel that
warmth of hope,
That brief reunion gift;
Each morning now, it wakes
with me
And brings a welcome lift
That I humbly try to pass
along,
In small but smiling ways,
Little bits of sunshine
To brighten others' days,
And let them know,
"You are not alone,
- Be not afraid."
