Soul Encounter

He came to me in a sweet dream

whilst he was very much alive

his soul was kind and happy and full of love

I found this strange because I did know this soul

to be less than kind to me in life

yet within nights shadow he was different

I felt an overwhelming sense of love

 and reassurance that he loved me

he wanted to say sorry

something he could never say to anyone whilst awake

I've known many people like him

 but never have they visited my dream

awaken I did, with a heart full of love and gratitude

the next time I saw him

 I gave him the warmest hug that I could

I don't know if he had the very same dream of us?

because he hugged me back just a tight

we didn't speak, somehow we were connected through the dream

now he's gone from life and I've spent much time with my grief

dwelling on our encounter…

hoping he may visit me again someday in nights’ shadows.
