WRAPPED IN EACH OTHER'S DREAMS
When two people love each other
It’s like the confluence of two streams..
and the two of you immediately begin making memories
wrapped in each other’s dreams.
You feel happy, safe and comfortable inside your blanket
just the two of you
but as you add family and friends you find how easily
your blanket wraps around them too.
And you discover life is even happier and more exciting too
as the blanket of dreams they brought with them
wraps around you too.
And from this confluence of dreams you find
you’re happy with the direction your life is taking…
with the path your heart has chosen
with the memories you’re making.
Memories once made…you forever want to keep
so your mind finds a quiet place…a peaceful room
and tucks each on safely off to sleep.
Until your rivers meet up again
and, as you’re sitting on the shore,
a word or sentence spoken or a smile
wakes up a memory you’ve shared before.
And you find there is no place you’d rather be
than seated by that stream…
sharing a memory you’ve made together
while wrapped in each other’s dreams.
