A Dirt Road

to a Golden Street

In dreams we never seem to die

and think mortality a lie.

Does Louise, in her dreams with me,

know if dreams are her destiny?

While living, she had often said,

“After we die we will be dead.

There is no future life ahead,

no matter what lives we have led.”

She doesn’t say that any more

and i guess that is what dreams are for.

They open our eternity

which means that she is still with me.

If our spirits are now entwined,

and this is heaven, i don’t mind.
