Passing Through Dreams

When we're this close together

Not even wounds could separate us.

You whispered in my ear

In sleepy summer dreams.

Grass and butterflies

Decorated palaces where we leaped

And slept.

Perhaps my words would do the trick

Was my coy answer.

And we laughed until

The moon showed us the pathways of the stars.

You wandered endlessly for ages

In the search of voyages

Which I provided in my books.

So carelessly nestled in bargain bins

Behind the dumpster

And amongst the secret places of book stores

In-between the colored rooms.

You recognized my face

From that one coffee shop

Where you had cut in line and I had lectured you

About the meaning of manners.

You bought me a Danish.

I told you was I kidding around.

Steaming plastic cup in hand you said to me

That every joke has a bit of truth in it

And I thought you were joking.

Now you tell me jokes about

Rabbits in races with turtles.

And even funnier

Ones about love.

Grass and butterflies

Decorated our faces

And the spaces

Where we leaped

And slept.

And I laughed

Until the moon showed us as the fools

That we are.

[Tai Chi Italy]

It is a wonder of our world how people come together in dreams. A gift from god that no one can explain. You describe the union beautifully here. Ah the moon! A great pull...

Smiling at you
