A Warm Light

As I close my eyes I see a light shining through the darkness, a bright, warm, hazy light I try to reach the light I see but to only cut the air before me. I open my eyes and see that it was only a dream, under this tree I have always waited to see the night sky and under it I always sleep. During the day I search for something but like my dream I only cut through the air as if trying to catch a shadow, this dream seems eternal it seems like this dream this feeling inside me keeps telling me to search for something out there. As the seasons go by and the world around me changes I still try to reach for something in the light and as time passes by I start to see a face indistinct in the hazy light, I start to cry for some reason every time I have this dream. Today the cherry blossoms bloom and their petals color the ground a light pink the softness of them reminds me of the warm, gentle, embrace in my mother’s arms and the dream I keep having, I lay against the tree resting and as I open my eyes I see the face that I see in my dreams with a warm smile on his face and the sunlight shining down on us is like my dream. And now I know this feeling was loneliness and even sadness, my dream was filled with hope and it has brought me happiness but this feeling I have was love.
