I saw you through the window
and left to meet you at the door
once again you come to me in my dreams
just like so many times before
we walked along the seashore
it was a twilight night no longer day
tides washing up high over sand dunes
dragging hundreds away
we stand and watch in horrified fascination
as the scene plays out to its end
there is nothing we can do to help
but stand and note the destruction
we walk on again and look
strange creatures crawl up from the sand
and wrap their arms around my neck
I can feel their love though my body warmth they took
we walk on evading conversation
we talk of little things
and I know you are avoiding confrontation
and my heart no longer sings
I want to ask you what and why
but the words just will not come
you talk of little things
though it hurts I want to cry
we used to talk of many things
of deep emotion and the pain you have seen
now you wont even look me in the eye
and tell me where you've been
then suddenly you reach out to hold my hand
and suddenly I am in your arms
you lift me up, with legs wrapped round your waist
overwhelmed I touch your presence, your lips on mine I taste
then suddenly we are running
swiftly through the night
I am scared of what is happening
and I awake in sweating fright
I do not know the ending
or the reason for this dream
but once again I was worried
that things are not what they seem
