i had a dream

I had a dream,
where it came from i cannot tell,
it was buried deep,
and i saw its heart beating beneath its unconstructed form,
i looked at it intensely and my eye's looked upon its beauty,
so i watered it with hope.

I went to sleep and when i woke it was still there,
it was alive, and real,
i saw its body warm with joy ,
like the sun breaking after the night ,
and i heard paitence whisper "be still"
its not ready to bring outdoors.

Time went by,
was it to early to share it with another,
to reveal  my cherished love,
but my zealous pride caused me to be foolish,
how could they not understand ,
could they not see,
and i saw its body crushed under their uncompassionate heel.

A tear rolled down my cheek followed by another,
and the anguish of my lament opened  the floodgates of my despair,
i looked at its broken body drowning in a sea of my salty tears,
and i heard the words fall from my lips "it is finished".

Time went by,
and time went by some more,
i peered through the darkened glass,
its embers barely aglow,
but my arms were to weak to help it,
and my kisses were to far away to reach its coals,

So i turned my back on the one i had loved,
and walked deep into the dark night,
my heart ripped within me,
and hope fell to the ground like disguarded petals.

The days of silver and grey appeared,
and i thought once more to venture,
to the place where i had abandoned my love,
i looked again through the darkened glass,
and there it stood shining in all its glory .

My heart beat so loud i thought it would burst,
and i could not speak for the joy that filled my soul,
it had weathered many storms,
and endured beatings and insults,
but it had stood the test of time.

I gently embraced it ,
holding it tightly in my arms,
never again would i be so foolish and allow my  pride to deceive me,
i gazed upon its beauty and wondered why i given  up on it so easily,
yet it had not given up on me.

I have a dream,
where it came from i do not know.
