Being Within Her Dream

 
when she is pensively dreaming
would that I could observe
wishing I could enter into her world
the one which gives her
the greatest pleasure
I would try to shield her
from the dark ones
which makes her awake to cry
and maybe stroll with her
through lush green meadows
stopping momentarily to pluck a simple
yellow flower
to place in her hair
we stroll on . . .
smelling salt air
from some nearby body of water
she looks so happy inside her dream
would love to present to her
a mojo to protect
her from all that is evil
she is at the center of her dream
I’m not allowed inside
can merely watch from a distance
would that I could be
inside her special inter-space
would that I were the breath she takes
just one quick breath
her breath quickens
understanding I am there
within her dream
she might even feel I was necessary
