So I May Dream

Let us curry favor in dog star's
splendid laughing light 
bring the crash of passion's waves
through two arms held tight. 

I carry your wishes in love's
knapsack, strapped close
in tomorrow's hope 
fashioned in new dawn's 
golden charms. 

Bring empathy in touch
understanding where 
once was none, gone 
in sorrow's parting. 

Grant me true sight
unbridled, like a child's 
reaching song.. 
your gleam in smile.

Rein in gallop of 
heartbeat hooves 
grant me sleep
so I may dream.

My husband has been having trouble sleeping lately, so those closing lines really resonate with me, also love your lines 'splendid laughing light' and 'dawn's golden charms' - excellent poem, very deserving of POTD!
