Sleeping

sleeping
I am lost in a world not my own
unknown
hot naked
twirled around
and yet you are there
as always
holding my hand

floating downriver
tubes on warm green water
rushing rushing
children ahead unafraid
unspoken
desire
you grasp my hand and we move on
down

intersting poem/dream sounds scary yet together with the ones you love. probably uncertainty in your life.
