In Dreams We Met, Rumi

Perhaps love is a quiet crimson fire That burns the soul silently ever deep The glorious waves that fuel its desire, is never chastened by its unwanted sleep As need sought is born from emotion's want A minutes pause becomes a daily wait The time of our meeting I must confront A memory old or a newer fate In dreams that linger I have met you A captured wish that dwells in reverence That blooms with patience when our time is new and I await your entrance in silence To see your eyes and find love already known To touch hearts gentle as their light has shone contest Contemplation visual 1 Lovers don't finally meet somewhere they are in each other all along 5/1/15

Hits home for me, Frederic. The first time I saw my late husband, I knew he was the man about whom I'd been dreaming in my youth. You are definitely in tune with the message you chose from the list. Winning wishes coming your way! Carolyn
