Dream

And he walked into the darkness,

In the wintery night,

And passed through the dark alley…

Took a turn and walked

Silently deciphering the blankness within,

Reached the wooden bench beside the flowing river…

Everyone asleep,

Except for light blinking at the window,

In the building, at the second storey,

To the left of him.

He stared curious, saw a lady 

In her red dress beside the lamp.

Their eyes caught,

Exchanged looks and smiles…

There was a stir, and there was a flash of light

Flooding around him,

He opened his eyes to find himself on his bed,

In his small room…

He smiled to himself 

Stood at his window and looked out,

And the girl walking down on a red coat,

Turned and gave him a smile…

It was her!
