The Dream

It was dark outside-- almost a grey dark
There was a hint of mist in the air
I was in another country
Your country -- searching
For you
We had lost each other for a long time
We had been torn apart
Like Romeo and Juliet
I was trying to find you
I was told to come here
I was out in the country somewhere
I came upon a cave
Very large and dark
I entered it
And walked towards the back of it
There were shadows of flames dancing on the walls
The air was cool but dank
As I approached the fire I saw you sitting beside it
Wearing a brown fabric robe
After so long you were there
I couldn’t believe it
You did not speak
You held your hands by the fire
I asked you where you had been, how you were
Instead of answering
And in an instant you disappeared back into the night
All that remained was the remnants of the burning fire
I called out your name but you did not answer
Once again I was alone without you
