{dreams}

I’m on a vast azure sea

The wind is talking to me

And laughing at my silly smile

As I rise and fall with the waves upon my little boat.

I’m standing upon a red rock

Watching color rise into an October sky

Bright dots against the indigo background

Hugging myself against morning chill

As the sun begins its slow ascent.

I’m walking through a forest of flowers

Breathing deeply scents drifting from petals

White lights serve as stars overhead

Whispers of je t’aime are overheard.

I’m sitting in an iron chair

A corner café

Church bells sing over me

In the quiet morning

My book smells of leather and antiquity.

I’m dreaming

And in all my dreams

There is one person by my side.
