| A Cloud of Dreams
On a cloud of dreams I went with
my love,
In search of Paradise.
But naught saw my eyes through the mist of tears,
No pleasure could I entice.
So I strained against the bonds of the earth,
While we kissed through the misty cloud,
Only to be torn apart again,
And with sadness I was endowed.
Alone I cried beneath the moon,
That gazed so sorrowful,
And I soaked the soil of man with my tears,
Bewailing in voice pitiful.
But my lover strained not within his bonds,
And taught me of dreams so sweet.
Weaving a pattern of love in the clouds,
He set silver wings at my feet,
Then together we flew on a cloud of dreams,
To find that love of the minds,
Where to a dreamer all things are done,
And no mortal bonds can bind.
