Visions Of Light

I walked easy along the sandy beach with a smile upon my heart.

The winds were warm and the oceans surf was like unto a song.

The full summer moon peeked its red eye over the horizon.

 And in the near distance I saw a lone figure standing by a tree.

A mere silhouette pinned against the falling curtain of approaching night.

The closer I got I could see it was a woman with delicate features.

She turned and smiled and I smiled too for she was expecting me.

The moon had now disrobed from its earlier bright coat of red.

And it was there in the diffused night light of summer I became free.

She took my hand and we walked quietly across the warming sands.

We stopped only once and both starred out at the white, black sea.

Then I awoke realizing that it was just a dream…

Or was it?

For my heart says it was a vision of a day soon to come.

The mind says it was a dream, but deep inside I know it to be real.

Life is too short to listen only and solely to the logic of the mind.

Because of a life without vision will always sleep in the silent shadows…..

 on the dark side of the summer moon.
