The Dream Comes

and I am slipping and floating away-
  I hear the beat of throbbing music
    and I see deep blue ocean waves
      mist is swelling and I drift lost
then, I see a tall man . . . 
                               he is swaying to the music
his white shirt is billowing untamed
  eyes closed he reaches out for me
                              and we are spinning
                              arms outstretched
I feel like we are flying
  he is so graceful, bending and gliding
    I love his dancers body . . . 
      he is watching and smiles as I twirl
        I easily mimic his complicated steps
and he nods-
  the mist swirls with the sweetness of the ocean, and
                                I am detached from all reality
I never want to leave but he is fading
      and I am overcome with grief . . .
