TODAY I SAW YOU IN A DAYDREAM
IN THE FORM OF THE REDDEST ROSE I'D EVER SEEN!
YOUR STEM, A DEEP FOREST GREEN,
YOUR LEAVES, FLOURESCENT YELLOW GREEN,
WITH AN ELEGANT SHADE OF GOLD DUST,
IN AN OUTLINE SURROUNDING THEM.

ABOVE THE BEAUTIFUL, FULL BLOOMED PETALS
WAS A VIVID BRIGHT LIGHT.
IT WAS IN THE SHAPE OF AN ANGEL'S WINGS,
FILLING THE AIR WAS A FAMILIAR FRAGRANCE
THAT BROUGHT COMFORT TO MY LONELY HEART.
IT WAS THEN I KNEW IT WAS YOU!

AS THE STEM BEGAN TO GROW TALLER,
IT FLOATIED CLOSER TO ME,
AS THOUGH IT WERE STUDYING EVERY CURVE OF MY BODY.
AS I STOOD AWED AT ITS BEAUTY AND GRACE,
IT FELT OF THE EMBRACE YOU ONCE LOVED SO TO SHARE.

AS THE TEARS STREAMED DOWN MY FACE, I WAS THEN COMFORTED
AS THAT BRILLIANT LIGHT OF ANGEL'S WINGS
FLOATED ABOVE MY HEAD AND SHOWERED MY INNER AND OUTER BEING
WITH ITS LIGHT! THEN I STOOD, AT PEACE, BATHING
IN THE GLORY OF YOUR PRESENCE ONCE AGAIN!
