Forgotten Dreams

Fleeting image in a mirror
In a darkened, silent room
A flash of white and pure light
Black hair flowing in a stream
She said ‘It’s nothing like it seems’
Ill spent days and forgotten ways
I think I know now what she means

Long afternoons in country summer
Crackling grass that yearns for rain
Thunder crashing and lightning flashing
Electricity of strange extremes
She said ‘We live our lives as dreams’
Memories gone, not dreamt upon
Out of truth pure sunlight gleams

Strangers standing in the stairwells
Shadows nodding at their words
Forsaken treasure, lazy pleasure
Fireflies trapped in moonlight beams
She said ‘It’s unravelling at its seams’
When we had gone, no sunlight shone
No-one recalls forgotten dreams
