Dreams Of Flight

Once in my youth
When I still had years and age
To think about remembering you
I drempt of flight:
Of floating over all of God's country
Over grasses of green and sweltering seas
Never thinking of land
My feet kissed the air

I even thought of hovering past your window
Wondering, hoping
If you could ever come out with me
But then I peeped through your curtains
My eyes glazed with shock when I saw
That you were in the arms of another man
And then I fell back to earth
And since then I've never been the same again ...

That was when I woke up
To find your side of the bed
Empty without you.
