SATIN SANDS

Dreams can be so.........

As hand in hand we strolled the shore
Satin sands tickling our feet
Ocean breezes summer sweet.

Please don't wake me from this dream
Don't tell me it's not real
What it is I feel

Yet Amber swords of morning sun
Pierce my eyelids cruelly bright
Rudely ends the night

But where oh where have you gone
It was merely a flicker ago
Yet I know

It was so real, surreal
Your smile, your sparkling eyes
Your gentle sighs

Don't tell me it wasn't real
Come back come back, take my hand
In my dreams of satin sands.

"Yet Amber swords of morning sun

Ahh when we have the most amazing dreams but the morning intrudes upon the fantasy.

When dreams and fantasies collide
Waking is often unwelcome.
