IN DREAMS, YOU LIVE

In Dreams You Live
by Jeffery Massey



In Dreams, I find my solace dwells
Embracing my heart with ethereal desire,
For moments in time that warmly tells
Of my life’s labours lost & ambitions seared in time’s fire;

Somehow, I seek to touch the hand
Of He who knows me so well’
And be guided back to His Promised Land’
Traveling upon truth’s river, as love’s wind propels my sail;

Yet, the truth I sought when I was young
In every fragrant flower,
Denies the reality from which you have sprung
How brazenly it bleeds from my soul all power

For now I know just how far I fell
When last I loved your wild heart
With passionate ecstasy, my sweet agony would tell,
Of a somber young lad who is allowed to depart
From the loneliness of his lifelong shell;

The mirror cracked & all I see
Are the squandered days now cold & blue
Dreams deferred are now withered desires anew
Perchance penance will spare separating thee

Or me from what your promise shall give
Yet, all that is left is In Dreams I know–Somehow You Live
