A Dream Of Love

Once I had a dream of love, The kind that makes you feel the world is right.
Love came and whispered harmony, And stayed beside me all throughout the night.
That song has passed from hearing now, Like a breath of wind one summer's day.
But the place where dreams are built anew, Lies in my heart and so will stay.

Like a sorcery that moulds our life, Love weaves its worried schemes of strife.
Surrender to your dream of peace, let go and love will never cease.
Enchantments, spells and long sad dreams, And gentle tunes that lull our minds,
Are fading as we sense love's themes, And break illusion's bonds to find....

...A world of light and love redeemed!

Your love has cleaned my soul once more, And now I am no more at war.
You came and whispered harmony, You gave me love and energy.
And Peace now lives - forever in my heart.
