Laying in my bed on a warm summer’s eve,
I sit looking at your picture as it rests within my hands.
The sound of your voice floats throughout my mind
as my consciousness slips into a fool’s paradise.
I awake in an empty place, enshrouded with shadows.
No life, no hope, nothing wholesome in this desert
until you appear in all your glorious wonder,
enticing me nearer with the gleaming in your eyes.
Our arms finally meet in eternal embrace,
my eyes firmly closed in reverence of your beauty.
But when they open again, they reveal the unknown truth,
the one I have feared, since I first saw your face.

You’re not in my arms, nor anywhere else,
yet your presence surrounds me as I look about.
This land is no longer desolate, but thriving with life.
The desert has become a beach, colored by your golden hair,
the sunset, reflecting off the sea, forms from your light red lips.
Your radiant smile puts clouds in the sky, shining with the sun’s rays,
and your eyes, oh those magnificent eyes, they complete the picture.
The black is the sky overhead and the shadows to the east.
The white creates the silver moon and the stars all about,
and the soft, deep blue places itself amidst the calm waters.
All this, yet you are still not to be found when I awake,
only in dreams where all things are possible.
