The Dreaming Poem by Mike Shanahan

Far across the Ocean
In the “Land of the Free”
I met a Laughing Flower
And then life changed for me

Her voice it was like music
Its melody so sweet
Her soul and heart so beautiful
It drifted in my dreams
And like an Eagle soaring
Red sunsets did I see
And in the night the Dreaming
Brought her home to me

We’d met before I’m certain
But did not know the time
And in the land of Dreaming
We’d held each others hands

I heard her voice of longing
Saw passionate embraces
And through the Dreamtime passion
Remembered her at last

We’d together go on journeys
To galaxies beyond
Thrill to our adventures
Lost in space and time
All through the night the Dreaming
With music pure and sweet

I wondered where I’d met her
And if we’d ever meet again
For in the Realm of Dreamtime
Dreaming is for real

Oh let her come this Laughing Flower
Let her come to me.
