it was somewhere within a nightmare
she appeared
quieting the storm
and sending black rolling clouds
into the Sea
the Sun returned while sounds of  nature magnified
and slowed
as they do in dreams
she turned and walked towards me
her white flowing gown
being slowly removed
we made love to a song I'd never heard
but knew
her blue eyes spoke in words of love I'd never heard
but remembered
while our bodies dripped with the colors of our dream
I fell asleep during a kiss
and awoke to the sounds of life
to the smell of reality
wondering if such beauty
could ever be realized
