A Dreamy Eulogy


You visit me in my sleep,
It has been three weeks since you’ve gone,
And in that brief moment where our eyes,
You smile.

You show a side of you I had not seen while you were here.
You show me happiness. 
Your face did not show the infirmity that plagued you. 
Only a youthful glow cast by death. 

You may have left this world, 
And the fleeting dreams of my unconscious,
But I know you are eternal in memory and spirit.
