A Poet and a Dreamer

Hearing splatter in the dark

Seeing umbrellas in the park

Dreaming dreams that could come true

With someone else if not with you

Of love that really wasn’t there

I thought it was somehow

Growing Lilies of the Nile

Butterflies in single file

Orchid rainbows

An embrace that said good night

It wasn’t wrong it wasn’t right

But man our hair wild and gray

Saying what we want to say

Glancing  at the morning light

in my head

Or in his  bed

Who’s to say?
