A Dream Was All (poem)
To search the world this wonder was resigned
To find the meaning of another day
To find his something hidden far away
To end imagined feeling of dismay
And to this cause he let his passions stray
A dream was all this lover left behind
-
And so he searched the earth both far and wide
Unsure what hidden secrets would unwind
Uncertainty would be his constant guide
To find a treasure reason’s words defied
For this his quest he brushed all else aside
A dream was all this lover left behind
-
And then he turned his search into his soul
Perhaps tis there the spring to make him whole
Some hidden mystic memory confined
In time sublime such silence would he stroll
The ways of stars were paths he would console
A dream was all this lover left behind
-
As wonder wandered puzzle still remained
His heart yearned solace searches had all drained
As toward tomorrows through his tears he strained
He caught a light a cloud had left behind
A gentle smile which hope and faith maintained
A dream was all this lover left behind
-
Now sunsets blesses end to fantasy
In every search together they will be
He found the meaning of reality
And when she asks what brought you back me
He turns to her and to her heart confined
A dream was all this lover left behind
