A flickering candle light illuminates the silhouette of your body as you sleep
profoundly in the bed
Fascinated, I sit down in a nearby chair and watch you sleep so calm, so peaceful
It's as if you fell asleep while posing for a camera
Only the slightest body movement of your breast, I can see barely moving up, then down
There's a sudden slow movement of your hand, as if you were reaching for something
A quiet sigh leaves your lips as your hand slowly descends down to the mattress
I sit and watch you and wonder, what are you dreaming about
It must be a very peaceful dream, because your body seems to be in such a calm state
I wonder if you are dreaming about the night we sat in the boat and I slid the canopy top back surprising you with a view of the moon and the stars, your eyes had never seen
We were far away from the bright city lights in the middle of the lake, in the middle of the night
It was dark, quiet, so quiet a voice would travel a mile even with the calm wind
As I slid the canopy top back It was like a big bright star map was being unfolded before your eyes
With your eyes open wide, you laid quietly on the deck seat watching the parade of stars and a full moon which look so much bigger and brighter with the view from the dark lake
Gentle waves rocked the boat slowly side to side
I watch a calm peace come over you, then your eyes slowly close as the slow rocking of the boat rocked you into a deep sleep
I had purposely lured you out that night because I knew the view was going to be perfect, and the night air was going to be calm and warm
I wanted to share something I had stumble on which brought me inner peace, and I knew it would bring that same peace to you
After the ride home I thought I was going to have to carry you in the house because you stayed in that tranquil state as we drove through the dark little sleepy town and then through the bright city lights home
Your mind, body and soul was still at peace even after the next morning sun
Now I wonder if you're dreaming of the picnics we had when our kids were young
They would rip and run until they dropped, then we would spend a long quiet night of bliss together as they deeply slept and dreamed of their fun filled day
It always seem to bring out the peace inside you when we were together as a family whole
What ever your dream is about, it has brought your heart peace, which in turn, always puts peace in my heart
My eyes slowly close as my mind drifts into a dream state while watching your peaceful sate of sleep
A dream of your soft hands gently rubbing my forehead, my cheeks, along my arms appear
Just as I start to linger for more of your soft surreal touch, my dream is disturbed for some reason and my eyes quickly opens
I see you standing before me smiling
You have that look on your face of, what were you dreaming about
You slowly lean down and lay a warm, soft, moist, kiss on my lips, then you whisper
I just had a dream of you, but when I reached out, you weren't there
Come, lay next to me, hold me tight, let's fall asleep together, so we can dream as one
