While sleep holds me
in its grasp,
I reach out
seeking for something
I cannot see.
Knowing its there
somewhere
in the dark
waiting for me,
but my time has not come
to leave this world
and its mysteries.
To reunite with
love once great.
So he waits
patiently,
never far from my side
until it is my time
to come home.
When he will take my hand
and once more pull me
into his arms,
surrounding me
in loves warm embrace.
