I dream only of You

by

 

 

 

I dreamt of you in a garden

Beautiful and Free

 

Your face filled with Light

Your heart with Peace

 

I was gladdened and pained to see you there

Gladdened by your bliss

But pained by the distance

 

Is it disturbing that I still imagine being with only you?

 

Our story ended before we could even begin...

I hope that when we meet once more there will be no end...

Hi Wardah, I love the interplay of joy and pathos.

Best of all it ends with hope, expressed longingly in the last line:
"I hope that when we meet once more there will be no end..."

Some more please. Let your inner voice be heard Wardah.
Take care,
Raj
