Clive Barker

“I dreamed I spoke in another's language, 

I dreamed I lived in another's skin, 

I dreamed I was my own beloved, 

I dreamed I was a tiger's kin.
I dreamed that Eden lived inside me, 

And when I breathed a garden came, 

I dreamed I knew all of Creation, 

I dreamed I knew the Creator's name.
I dreamed--and this dream was the finest--

 That all I dreamed was real and true, 

And we would live in joy forever, 

You in me, and me in you.”

 ― Clive Barker, Days of Magic, Nights of War
