The first word was "dream"

from the middle of sleep

which secretly accompanies

the darkness in my heart

The second word was "wind"

directing my journey

from God's arms,

fanning wings

As if counting the melting sorrows,

Yet another golden apple fell

Not even looking at the scenery,

there's the place you're going

With merely a single life

you struggle to reach that place

An old magic book; moon-drops; the curtain of night -

Only a premonition of meeting someday

we can fly

we have wings

we can touch floating dreams

call me from so far

through the wind in the light

The third word was "hum"

caught by straining ears

as I softly release

your trembling arms.

Dream

This morning I thought I awoke...

The sweet smell of wildflowers blowing through the wind first aroused my senses. the gentle wind softly kissed my skin. As I opened my eyes, a kaleidoscope of colors filled my vision. I found myself in a meadow. To my every side were flowers. Pyreflies danced around the field. A waterfall seemed to materialize to my right and small fairies wafted through the mists. I saw no sign of people around me; no buildings, or any man-made structures for that matter. Small beams of light filtered through what I could only describe as pink "clouds".

'Am I dead or something?' The last thingI remembered was falling and then the darkness suddenly overtaking me.

I slowly pushed myself up from the ground and sat up. ' Is this a dream? It feels too real to be a dream.'

I carefully gpot to my feet and walked around. As I brushed through the flowers, hundreds of butterflies fluttered around. I bgan to walk toward what I thought was an exit to the field, but as I neared the "end", all I found was a drop-off. It looked as if what I was standing on was a floating island. As far as I could see, there were only those pink "clouds".

I returned to the spot where I had awoken. I began to feel bored and as if I would never get out of this place. Sure it was the most gorgeous sight I had ever seen in my life, but I could only look at the same beautiful flowers and other scenery for so long. As if someone had sensed my "distress", I saw a figure walking my way. It was a mans figure or so it seemed to be. I gasped when his image finally started to become more clear. It was him, well, what I thought was him. " I am dead," I softly choked out. As he came closer, I realized that it wasn't him. He looked so much like him, I wasn't surprised that I had confused the two. He continued to walk closer and closer, so I took a few steps back. And then he started to speak to me...

Quietly awakening

I always always wish

that these fleeting thought would reach you

unable to move across

"just a little more" distance

The way I see before me is always blocked

Everytime, the days that I want to see you

but can't, pile up

My strong heartbeat turns to heartbreak.

If there is such thing as "eternity"

I want to believe, even if I have to take the long way.

Although I know that I've been hurt before because I'm clumsy

I won't stop; I won't give in to anyone.

I think of you and that alone is enough

to make the tears start to flow now.

I've known all too well about

pretending to be strong

but since then, my doubts have vanished

There are definitely things that I want to show you

And so many word that I want to hear

I want to see all sides of you

when you laugh and cry

So I'll stop waiting and sieze my "chance"

I think of you and I feel

like that alone is enough

to make my heart stronger.

I think of you and that alone is enough

to make the tears start to flow now.

My distant voice can't reach you now

but so that someday it definitely will -

Believe
