And So It Is And So It Was Poem by Linda Marie Van Tassell

And so it is, I had a dream
far away in another land
across a crystal sapphire stream
spilling back into Wonderland.
And here I saw the strangest thing,
the before in ever after,
the likes of those who gaily sing;
and it filled my heart with laughter.

The sky was green; the earth was blue.
It was like walking on a cloud.
Birds were walking and talking too!
The flowers were laughing out loud.
Trees were heavy with luscious fruits.
I collected them in my hand.
The trees stood tall from tips to roots
across the lush and lovely land.

The breeze played mischief with my hair
threading ribbons of gold and red,
and pure joy blossomed everywhere
beneath my feet and overhead.
A waterfall flowed into sips,
into drops of refreshing dew
across my dry and thirsty lips.
I was thirsty again for you.

And so it is and so it was,
my dream spindled into the air.
I opened eyes perchance because
I knew you would be laying there.
I read you by the candlelight
in the unwinding binding feel
that everything will be alright,
and the best dreams are always real.
