In the Dream

In the dream

In the dream I dreamt, in the world I painted

You were the flower that brightened the landscape

The moon that banished the darkness of the night

In the waking world, where I work the dream in sweat and toil

Though unknown as yet, and still to be beheld

You are the love that inspires me, the smile that brightens my heart

But I know this world; it is full of twists and turns

I shall still bless the creator should it be he made you for another

For my world would be poorer had he not made you
