Dance of a Thousand Kings
By AJ O’Brien.
For my wife, Pauline.
If I could I would catch a dream
a dream filled with love
and wonderful things.
Holding it locked within my heart
until a time when we were apart.
Then this dream of our love
would rise from within my soul
and together we would dance
as an angel sings,
the dance of a Thousand Kings.
Incarcerated shadows 
Very beautiful!

I know the pain one feels when someone you love suffers and passes away after battling cancer. It does get better. Beautiful tribute to your wife and love in general. Thanks for stopping by Poemattic. Look forward to reading your posts.

I like very much this poetry, but I would like to say to Mr. O ‘ Briean that not love is imporant, but silence. If peopele love each other it is vey good, but important is that they not hate each other.
