This is an actual dream I once had, mixed with a little bit of reality.
-----------------------------------------
The sky overhead has darkened,
As I hear the call again,
I let myself fall between worlds,
And into the other realm again.
Bound to this shadow world
Where I am only what I dream,
He takes my hand and leads me
His eyes a gleam.
To the White Gates of Morning
Where God can hear his plea,
He gazes into my eyes
As he lowers to his knees.
Declaring a vow of everlasting love
He has felt from the very start,
I cannot deny I too feel
For what he describes is in my own heart.
He asks for my hand
To be with him always and forever,
I remain silent for a while
My heart belongs to another.
In my world which may not be perfect
Another waits for me,
He waits five hours forward in time
In a city over the sea.
"Hurry my love before the sun rises!
Make haste! Make haste!"
My eyes meet those of the Faerie King
Tears streaming down my face.
I feel my body become light
As my dream begins to fade,
Back to the world where men are mortal
The sunlight beckoning me to wake.
And I know the choice was mine
The love of my life or eternity,
But I live for the man five hours forward in time,
My love, beyond the sea.
