Dreamlike Dreamlove

I dreamed that you were running down my hall,

And slid into my room in your sock feet.

You jumped into my bed and flounced about,

Until you’d covered yourself from head to toe,

And under the comfort of my love complete,

You swam like a sweet fish back deep and under water.

And natural as an alleycat who gets a taste

Of real livin’ up the heights of a forest tree,

You laughed yourself all the way to heaven’s bank,

Then danced and swam your way upstream to me.
