When I Dream In the Day

Does he know that when I dream in the day?

The earth fades past the crown of your smile
A whirlwind in the reality awakened in front of my daze
And all that was once silent now motion and spry
As you, the ringleader for every movement’s spark

In this moment when you are all that there is
Steadfast in the notion of the whirlwind of breeze
Reality a continuum of time traveling wake
Shakes rocked and backed by the brilliant light
Your presence is the universe's calm of chaotic sight

For suddenly the moment is overtaken by a thought
Infiltrated by your presence
Unleashing upon my breast a vengeance
Body shaking in a frenzies wave
Caught in a dream of a distant array

Until there is but a dance of shimmer through my feet
Body motion endless towards the rushing energy
Of the reverie happening before my eyes

And suddenly my heart leaps

There continues the day’s flight.

These thoughts that come to us during the day, dreams that invade can bring joy or pain or something in between. Still the fact that these thoughts appear must mean something. Nicely done Rachel.
