In a dream I came to a river River of time I sat and saw reflections Slow enough to realize It was my past flowing by There you were Just as I remembered An enjoyable presence In this dream I tried to hold on to you You slipped through my fingers Water dripped back down You joined the river Time took you And as I looked over There you were standing No reflection, all skin and bone Beside a parallel river One of your own And you jumped Trying to grab me Hold onto the memories But time took me Now here we are Staring between our two rivers That take their own paths I’ll be back to visit The sweet memories at The river of time
