In a dream <br />I met you again <br />And wished so deeply <br />I could get to know you <br /> <br />But <br />There was a gleam in your <br />Topaz blue orison, more than a look <br />a glance <br />a stare <br />that said to me <br />we'd met before. <br /> <br />And then what joy <br />(a surplus passion) wonderment and thanks <br />A smile to last forever <br /> <br />That bled into a dream on waking, <br />Leaving a curious sigh. <br /> <br />For I had remembered my favourite childhood toys were lost <br /> <br />Grown over <br /> <br />In a dusty back-room. <br />In a house where I no longer live.<br /><br />Andrew Fincham<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-in-a-dream/
