I Saw You Last Night

Lou Rogers

Ann,

Last night I saw you coming to me

As you often did in the many years passed

With pure delight written all over your face

You were so beautiful

I felt so humble to be in the presence of you

As you came walking down the long hall

I watched the lilting sway of your stride

I listened to the rhythmic click of your heels on the floor

I felt weak and strong, at this moment

Unbelieving - you were mine to adore

I was overcome with my feelings of love…

Watching you coming towards me

The magic of the moment felt fragile

I stood very still - feeling you already in my arms

With your fragrance all around me -

I was afraid to move

Not wanting to disturb the moment

For then it might fail

You were vibrant and beautiful

I was so thrilled and happy

Being with the wonder of you…

…

---Suddenly - I awoke - my dream fading quickly -

I lay there empty, and insecure

Trying to hold those magic moments

Wanting - hoping - I could make them last

I could still see you walking towards me

But the realness of those wonderful mystical moments

Had passed.
