I Dream ... Dreams of You

as always, when the night comes on,
so do you
your breath upon my shoulder,
your arm around my waist,
slowly slumber takes us as our breathing slowly
blends from two sounds into one whisper

our foreheads touching
fingers entwined
ankles crossed each with the others
we leave each other's arms to cross
the threshhold into the realm of dreams

but i think i never really leave you ...
do you leave me?
for even in my dreams you are there with me
it gives me comfort and safety to feel you there.

i walk in fields of hay and tall grass, i look down
and there in my hand,
is your hand,
i look up and there is your face smiling into the sun,
your step even and strong next to mine

i have dreamt a fearful 'mare and yet...
if i look back,
i find your hand outstretched to me
all i have to do is take your hand and i am safe
again you are there,
next to me,
always.

walking on the beach, in a purple sunset,
watching gulls,
collecting feathers,
just peaceful and quiet,
on the whipping sea breeze i hear a quiet cry,

when i glance up the beach there is a man
walking toward me,

long hair blowing, smiling, waving,
i feel a sudden warmth pass thru me,
it's you.

i feel a small hand on my back, she says, mom it's 7am,
and
she's out the door,

i lie in the dark waiting for the sound, ...
there ...
that whispering breath...

i turn to my left and just like always
you are there. 

i place my hand on your back and feel your heartbeat,
feel your breath, kiss your shoulder, say good morning,
tho you still sleep.

another day, you are here, you are there, you are always...
you are the dream ...
i dream...
