Dream of Love

photograph taken almost one year ago in Central Park, Manhattan


this is my hope

to sleep and dream of you

and have your smile
which while awake knows not of me
know me alone

and have this dream
in which your eyes
find —raw— in mine
the very essence
of your love
keep warm my soul

until I dream again

of you

Ohhhhh....these words touched my heart:

" and have your smile
which while awake knows not of me
know me alone..."

This is a beautiful poem and the picture is a perfect companion to the poem.

May all of your night dreams be caught in your net of an awake reality Vesper.
