Array ( [sid] => 57340 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => lily and the phoenix [time] => 2004-07-23 16:41:51 [hometext] => i had this dream loads of times before my great nan died...and i was confused and sad...i knew she was going to die before she did...and it hurt because i never told anyone until afterwards... [bodytext] => i close my eyes
and the visions come to me
like pausing a video
ready for me to watch
im running
running hand in hand with my cousin
we're running past a bridge the train is shaking underneath
past the primary school
its really late
but somehow i feel i need to keep looking
i see a golden bird
its flying over me
i can see its shadow
im worried and i feel content
safe in this presence
im running up an ally
the dustbins outside a flat
i can see the stairs
i pull them down so i can climb
the bird has flown in the second window
i rush up the steps
my cousin megan
is waiting at the bottom
there's an old women in a chair
watching the fire crackle
she seems so happy
i dont want to desturb her
i wait outside the window
the bird is over her
it a-lights with fire
and the women flies out the room
in a form of a white dove
clear but misty somehow
shes beautiful
im crying
i never got to say goodbye
the golden bird floats by me
just before it vanishes
'but you did say goodbye,she knew,deep in your heart you loved her,'
and it flies out past the window up far away
in the midnight sky
a star shines brighter than all the rest
and i smile
tears flooding my eyes
i know
its lily
shes up there watching me
me and megan
we glide back home
in the kitchen a strange man is waiting
and my mum is smiling
everyone is there
i tell them
and they already know
she past through before
to let us know
a perfume floats in the air
and i smile
my heart deep with sorrow and love
but the golden bird
my mum turns to me
it flew over head to guide her
now shes at peace
she knew we loved her
thats why she left a mark so strong
and i cry
days
weeks
months
years
shes with john now
lily and john safe above
watching over me and all my family
i love them
and i know they love me too
so send part of this up to them
my great nan and grandad
in heaven... [comments] => 2 [counter] => 178 [topic] => 14 [informant] => Hannah_Heaven [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DreamsandWishes )
