I dreamt I was once more a child of love
My eyes sprung open at first sign of dawn
To raise the shades and hear the birds above
And sing before the nightingale had gone

I called your name and raised you from your sleep
And we walked hand in hand among the stars
My heart the stony angels wished to keep
And with your key my heart was freed from bars

We ran barefoot along the grassy hill
And made a wish to stay forever young
When soon we heard a deep and powr’ful trill
And suddenly we were from this dream flung

And though I wish that I was born anew
I only would accompanied by you

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
