I dreamt of you-

Emotions tightly tethered so long
temporarily liberated
A wish, outgrown, but never forgotten.

Realization that all and nothing
will ever be the same,
or different.

A shift, perceptions aligned,
a noble knight sheds youthful misconceptions of title
and in beautiful dreams touched deeply,
changed
and enlightened

Another,
undefined.

A fleeting pause
to reflect

Adjust the cluttered corners
of memory

Grateful for a fluttering reminder of nights filled with private words
provocative perceptions...

A gift cherished.
