Last night held a face once gone
Not as ghost but gentle dawn
Smiled like spring beneath the snow
Love arrived in quiet glow
No words needed no demand
Only warmth a tender hand
Dream walked close like trusted friend
Memory healed by peaceful end
Morning light brushed pillow seam
Reality woke from the dream
Heart felt full no need to ache
Past returned for love’s own sake
Some dreams come to mend the tear
Lay soft balm restore the prayer
Not to pull the past back through—
Only touch then bless the new
