lately, as the number of my years have accrued when
now i close mine eyes to coddle that ever so desirous
gentle sleep, my dreams are filled with the faces of those
who no longer walk along beside me amidst the waking day
upon this mundane sojourn
sometimes i feel a joy with their presence surrounding
me again but then sometimes this dream filled journey
brings memories of where angst had garnished our days
with pain and i could feel tears run down my face with mine
eyes still closed as my head lay on the pillow
but then when the morning’s tug awakens me with the sound
of a choir of Cardinals and Robins, Sparrows and Blue Jays
singing my favorite tunes, while the waft of a lilac bush just
outside my open window in Spring, fills my room and
mine eyes open to a loveliest vision of my love laying
next to me and my canine children at my feet
love fills my heart, sates my soul and until my last breath
i shall cherish the nocturn dreams and daytime reveries,
shall love life for all its worth
