Dreams

As the sun sets
Shadows play
games as they chase each other
down the road of another
passing day.
The moon soon rises
Owls flit across the path
Or is it just a figment
of our imaginations.
But as Gumby prances
in meadows
filled with purple deer
You will know you've floated
into dreamland.
This is where I await
Since I've passed
from this plane.
We can live our fondest moments
That we have been denied
by the waking world.
We can have that perfect child
We can build our blinding
mansion carved from gold.
We can travel
not bound by space
or time.
She awaits,
hears you speak my name
in your sleep.
She shakes you
gently
Do not fear
I'll be waiting
When the sandman
comes again.
