When Mom Appeared

The first time

I dreamed of you

was a year ago.

It was like

memories of

years' past,

Sharing and laughing

over the week's

events;

You wanting to

know my thoughts,

me telling you

my stories.

It was a year

since I last heard

your voice,

A year since

I last saw

your presence,

And I wanted

that dream to

last forever.
