It took a thousand dream miles to meet you again-

Somewhere deep in my labyrinthine mind

That I can’t reach with a conscious map.

Remembering those

Strawberry kisses and blue jeans,

The bewitched air under the august sun,

Whiffs of your smile, your caressing eyes,

And the forgotten taste of a rainbow dream.

I don’t know if you know

Our paths still cross on the other side of life.

The chance encounters in the dead of night

When the sandman visits my bed,

Sprinkling diamond dust

Of evenings half an age ago.

And as I sink into oblivion,

I wound my way sometimes,
To that parallel universe

Of our strawberry kisses and blue jeans.
