Heavenly Dances Poem by Timber Koleden

I slept and dreamed a dream tonight,
and in my dream I was walking, walking in the sunlight.
I looked an I saw you sitting beside the stream;
you were bright, like gleaming light, like a sunlight beam;
your hair was golden, like golden waterfalls upon your head;
and robed were you in robes of silver thread.
Your voice was clear, clear and sweetly kind;
your laugh was bright, so bright its yet in my mind.
I took your hand and took it so reverently,
for I am dust, and you are light, light so lovely.
Like clear and cool waters are the waters of your care;
that bless me with love, a love so very fair.
You are pure, pure as the crisply fallen snow;
I am dirt, and dirtier than I could ever know.
But yet in dreams we may dance and dance alone;
for in this place both dust and light are flesh and bone.
I look upon your smiling face and can't help but smile;
for in dreams, we can dream and dance a little while.
Once you were dirt and once dust, dust as me;
now you are light, light that is white and so lovely.
In dreams we can dream and dance in the sunlight,
and wait for the day when we may dance beneath sunless light.
For in that time there will be no need for moon or sun;
the LORD will be our light, holy and bright, the righteous one.
We shall see his face, his face which yet none have seen;
for by his saving grace the elect will dance upon Heaven's green.
But dreams are dreams, dreams not yet real life;
just like life dreams must end, and end our dance tonight.
When I wake I will sing, and sing a song of hope and faith;
for I know where I am destined, destined for somewhere safe.
I will wait, and I will wait for you;
I will live, and I will live forever loving you.
But I am still dreaming, and dreaming of dancing with you.
So while dreams last I will dream with you.
