The Calm, The Calm there in your Palms.

And I had another dream today

That I was a stranger come to say

I love you.

And when you said "why?"

I said "I like your eyes.

They're just black and deep deep blue,

but they see light."

I commented upon your dress

and how the pretty flower press

would bounce just like your auburn hair

and when you spin float in the air

and how you look when I made you smile.

And then we sat there for a while.

You took my hand, do you understand

what it means that I'm a man

who gives and takes and celebrates

what he never ever could have created.

And we sat in contemplation of the fact that we related.

And we danced and spun

and had our fun

and then went back to our respective homes.

Alone.

Then I awoke.

And the next day when I looked there,

you were gone and it was quite unfair

that I had learnt to love a dream,

had shared a sad solemnity

with someone who I'd never chance to meet.

Someone with such graceful, happy feet.

Such happy feet.

But then I found you yet again

and learnt through you to love a friend

who doesn't quite look just the same

but has your smile and feels your shame

Not auburn hair but tarnished gold

just like her soul.

But she won't see it 'til she's old.

She shies from love but looks for hugs

and finds hope in the strangest drugs

like smiles and nods and dancing free

just dancing free.

Just dance with me and you will see

That all of our reality

is nothing but the modesty

of something so much greater than the trees.

Oh, if you please.

Thank you, please.

Songs of birds and buzzings of the bees

I wish that I could take you to the seas

and melt away your insecurities.

Sorry to tease.

I'll say with ease.

That your hand is better than any memories.

I love you just even more than I did in my sleep.

And you're truer than any of my dreams.
