I dreamed we were running
in a field under a sky
so vast, so blue
it could have been painted
the birds flitting overhead
wished us well
the trees waved at a distance
finally we threw ourselves
on the ground, laughing
not caring if Nature were
rubbing itself off on us
or ants were climbing
into our clothes
we rolled and rolled
till at last we rolled
into each other’s arms
and we rocked with joy
let go, lay back,
gave ourselves with abandon
to the sky
then rolled over
and I picked his flower
– a wild flower, a humble thing
but beautiful
we looked it over
and turned it over and over,
glorying in its miracle
then I looked at you,
ran my hands through your hair,
teased your nose just a little,
then ran my fingers under your chin
and kissed you
full, hard, salty
my face leaning into yours
before finally letting go
and telling you
I loved you, how beautiful you were,
there was no one – no one – else
like you in the world
you didn’t laugh
or say how corny it was
or sneer
or roll your eyes
– and under a relentless sun
we held on to each other
like children huddling against
the Terrors of the World
I saw nothing but love and trust
in your eyes
– it was just a Dream…..
