The 3 am Dream
The dream within the dream.
It was a summer setting.
Waterfront house with a beautiful view of the sea
that had been illuminated by a full moon and stars
that had graciously occupied the night sky.
It was you and I and the sound of the waves crashing
ashore ever so intensely.
We spoke about everything, even when our lips weren’t
moving as we inhaled such energy of the unknown
that had radiated throughout our body
we still felt connected.
We had vowed to stay awake to watch the sun kiss the horizon
and listen to the birds chirp a tune only
we seemed to understand.
It was as if we were in this unknown part of the universe
on the other side of a world where amazing meets
the unreal and it all becomes
a dream within a dream.
