Dream

…lie in prone repose
A bridge between worlds: of Life and Death
Enter into that mystical place of Dream
One foot in each world
Hovering between Time and Timelessness.
What has not happened,
Has happened.
Those whom we have lost, are present once more;
A bittersweet reunion.
Even in their presence there is awareness of the shadows whom Love makes present
For awhile.
Then the subtle strength of Shamash come from behind,
Placing His gentle hand on my shoulder-
The first rays of Dawn
Dispelling the once welcome shadows
And I awake.
I rise with the Sun.
But I remember.
