Dreaming Through Worlds

Dreaming Through Worlds

I fell into your dream
to see the world through
your eyes, even as you
watched me come
as a descending angel.

Your face was pure serenity
in spite of the blood,
for death came welcome
and you felt no pain.

The world became silent,
the men with their swords,
began to fade away into
the far distance and their
voices no longer mattered.

You watched your world
fall apart around you
but now I know you began
to rise above it, where
eternity was waiting.

Through the distance
of ages your hand reached
out for mine and as strangers
we recognized each other,
I pulled you through
out of your life,
an in return you gave
me a glimmer of yours.

There was beauty
in the sorrow and I
savored the last sweet
moments of your
halting breath,
you took me away
and I set you free
at last.
