I know the way our fingers have mingled; I know our lips can play and our eyes can trace the cross of interlaced limbs. But I wonder often if our dreams, too can ever weave just as so, like branches of a tree we somehow both envision. Who knows? But what marvelous dreams could become if only a twisting embrace were our sleeping, drifting minds.
I wrote this poem while I was watching the movie Mirrormask, and ended up composing a piece for my senior music degree recital in 2009 with these lyrics.
