Tides
she is caught in the
storm of her own mind
she sees the world
the beauty of another
summer
heat of the sun
her skin golden
which he longs to touch
he rests his head in her lap
to rest, feel safe
loved
with eyes closed
she gently touches
his chest
heart beats rhythmic dance
beneath skin
she runs her hand
through his hair
he is real
his weight apparent
breath warm, sweet
she stares at him
time passes
he must feel her gaze
yet, he rests through it
long enough for her to
squelch the fear
that this is only a
dream

Isn't that the truth?! Sometimes we've experienced so much pain and turmoil, and awakened from so many dreams that we have difficulty believing in the reality of the moment. I loved that he rested through it and allowed you to process naturally vs confirming it wasn't a dream.

The last paragraph leaves the reader with two paths of interpretation ( a dream or real). Interesting as to which the reader chooses. My 1st impression was real.

Thank you so much Leo for your thoughtful comments and your interpretation .. life can go in so many directions, sometimes it is hard to keep up .. your first impression is correct

Oh so beautiful, J. I try to live life now as if the moment before this one is just the passing of a dream...to deal with just this moment...which will become another fibre of time in my quilt of this thing we call life.
Peace...Harry
