The Words

The words came to me in a dream
So sweet and smooth, 
They floated by
Making me smile as I watched
   them swirl around
Reaching out and grabbing them,
   pulling them close
Forming sentences, phrases that sound
   lyrical and poetic
My body moving to their rhythm, 
   not in control, 
   but giving it up to the power
   of these words
Content, satisfied, complete
Their message reverberating
like a gong sending its pitch
   into the universe
The words came to me in a dream
Lost like a faded memory
As my eyes opened to the reality 
   of a new day.
