Dreams

You came to me in a dream.  I wasn't quite sleeping, but I was far from being awake.  I saw the land of dreams just over the horizon, but had much of a journey left to go.  Eyes flickered open, then half closed.  Then they slowly sank down,

into

sleep.

Bursts of white and gold light.
Your laughter.

I can still hear it.

Peace.
Your warm embrace.
I haven't felt this much love in too long.
You tell me,
"I love you.
This is not the end."

This isn't the end.

I saw heaven in that instant.  I saw you.

The land of dreams approaches.  I continue on with open arms.
