dream.

It was but  yesterday
we met in a  d r e a m

You have sung to me
in my  a l o n e n e s s

And I
of your  l o n g i n g s
have built a tower in the sky

But now
our sleep has fled
and our dream is  o v e r
and it is no longer dawn

The noontide is upon us
and our half waking
has turned to fuller day
and we must  p a r t

If in the  t w i l i g h t  of memory
we should meet once more
we shall speak again together
and you shall sing to me
a  d e e p e r  song

And if our hands
should meet in another dream
we shall build
another tower in the sky


- Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
