This Place

It was the most delicious sleep;
wrapped in the deep chambers
of dream.  Talking with people
I only recognize in this
fantastic dream; in a place
that takes my breath away
just thinking about it now.
I was laughing. Rich in love.
A feeling of belonging.  Not
that I feel like I don't
belong now. This place.
Oh, this place was home.
My home.  Nothing temporary.
Nothing ordinary.  This place
gave me a sense of peace. I
carry that dream with me now.
Bring it out in my mind's eye;
like  lovingly looking at a picture
I will forever cherish. If only for
a dream. This place.
