In A Dream She came to me
Through the mist of the forest she came to me
Her spirit lighting up the uneasy gloom
Angel like, with her skin ivory
And hair golden, sparkling in the glint of the moon.
"Who are you?" I asked her as she circled around
In her flowing silken raiment of cream.
"I am the fairy of the forest", she frowned
"But I am not real, this is only a dream".
"Oh fairy, you find me in my slumber", I sighed
"I thought this was a dream come true,
To find a beauty like yours how I've tried
But sweet lady why are you so blue?"
She whispered to me, in a voice of such sorrow
"I am only a fantasy, out of reach like the mist
For when you awaken to the real world tomorrow
In your dreamless state, I will cease to exist"
"But sweet fairy", I cried "I want you to follow
As I leave this strange forest behind".
"Then say that you love me",she said with a glow
"And in your world such joy I will find".
But before I could say the magical words
I found myself home again
Her voice in my ears, like the song of the birds
But with sunrise came so much pain.
I pray each time I lay down to sleep
To that forest I will return one day
For a promise I have made of undying love
To a fairy in a place far away
