Unbroken Friendship

I look for you between sleeping and waking, The place where dreams linger, half-remembered In the intrusive light of dawn’s making, Where consciousness persists unhindered. I reach for you as the moon’s shadows retreat Eclipsed by the brightness of the rising sun. The night fades to a reality less sweet, The dream diffused in daybreak too soon begun. Memories hidden by the years shine in dreams More real than an echo, where I can be In peaceful harmony with you. So it seems That as you light my dreams, you live on through me.
