You appear in my dream,
sensual and real.
You whisper,
things that I cannot hear.
I ask you to repeat it,
still I cannot discern.
And in my frustration,
you leave again.
You reappear in my dream,
So ardently and strong.
Again you whisper,
I cannot listen.
In my torment,
I reach out and touch you.
And you walk away,
never to return.

Walker...herein you have put your finger on one of life's many challenges....discerning what can be touched and what cannot without producing disturbance.   Good.  Bob

This sounds like a nightmare and well I can relate, how vivid.

This one's got me thinking.  I agree, sounds like a nightmare.  A teasing nightmare.

Better watch out. A return is likely

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.
