Last night I woke up in a deep sweat and I could not find you
I felt as though some giant spider had woven its web around me and I called for you
Yet, call as I did there was no response; I lay in bed and tears welled into my eyes
I was being held a prisoner of my thoughts yet my arms were held out to my orchid.
Have you ever thought how a dry river bed must feel without its love - flowing water?
Can you simply imagine how it just lies there without the singing of its song to Nature?
Orchid Lady, I openly called out to you in the hope I could hear your beautiful soft voice
But the only sound was the hacking of my cough due to this terrible winter infection I have.
How do you tell someone you miss them - how do you tell someone you need them beside you?
I miss you more than the air I breathe; and more than the heartbeats that flow within my body
Sweetheart, I wanted to reach up into the night sky and catch two shining stars to remind me of your eyes
Sadly, I was lying in my bed and unable to move but I continued to search everywhere for you.
Was this a dream or was this really happening? If it was reality I can imagine how you must be feeling
Your eyes would be awash with tears and I was unable to enfold you in my arms and comfort you
If there is a worse feeling in this World I never want to experience it because you are my Orchid Lady
This must be a dream yet I cannot see you lying beside me and I have this nightmarish feeling of a huge web.
To make matters worse there was no moon beam shining through our bedroom window -
- no moon beam that normally comforts us with its beautiful soft beams of night light
Nor can I feel the softness of your body and as I turn my head your side of the bed is empty
In this dream or nightmare I must awaken and shower, because I know I am nothing without you.
