Where Dreams Begin and Stay

Gentle breezes call your name in whispers

as waters moan their need in softened slurs;

they reach to me with fingers foamy, white -

recall to thought your hands on thighs that night.

*

The sky reflects a blue I recognize

as that which pulls me into depths - your eyes.

Your arms surrounding me in warmth and love

as not a cloud is seen around, above.

*

A gentle wind blows dark across the salt ,

bringing with it night of calming cobalt.

For now I'll dream of love, of life, of take -

and pray to God that I may never wake.

*

I leave my footprints here for you to find

in case you ever look for me in kind.

Just find the beach where sunsets show the way -

I'll wait for you where dreams begin and stay.
