Forever In A Dream

Something a little different.

Forever in a dream

As I lay here, I await the arrival of
someone to wake me from this
beautiful dream to become a
sweet reality

As I lay here I yearn for the touch
to set me loose. The touch to
break the tedium of counting
sheep, to bounding leaps

As I lay here, the pillow that
carries the weight of mind, I wish
to be the comfort of your lap, the
sheets that stroke the outline of
my body, I wish to be the green
gleaming grass

I wish to be the air itself, eddying
and flowing gently carrying the
feathers that are your hopes
higher and higher

Higher, and ascending
continuously, I feel the warm
embrace of the heavenly realms,
at least that's how the clasp of
your protection feels

Held safely, borne gently ever so
gently, among the stars, among
the family of celestial bodies,in a
seeming at-onement with all.

Feeling like forever in a minute,
holding on to the seconds of bliss
and elation

Seconds that may be hours, all
ours to do with as we please on
our journey with the stars, farther
and farther til nothing else matters,
just us in infinity of the
plane we journey through

Through with the breeze pushing
us with anticipation and
gratification, we look back never,
as we hold hands, not letting go of
this adventure of a dream

A dream or waking sensation,
indistinguishable from each other
yet causing no anxiety, only a
gentle urgency, the endpoint just
over yonder

And yet the sun arrives to smite
the feeling of being free, to wake
to the sounds of reality, or could it
be the promise of a beautiful
dream come true?

A secret I'll keep forever and a day

As I lay here.
