Dreaming is free

Blondie: Dreaming--remix by Utah Saints

He opened his eyes to a glorious sight.  There she was.  Her head snuggled in the crook of his arm with her head reclining softly positioned on his chest.  Her body pressed against his.  He had fallen asleep holding her and she... she had apparently only moved closer in her slumber.  She longed to pull to him, even in her sleep.  The press of the bodies reflecting the desires of the soul: to become one.  The golden sunrise colored her skin and shot highlights though her hair.  He wanted this moment to last forever.  He was amazed at the simple pure sight before him.  His hand went to softly grace her hair.  Not to wake, only to feel.  To reassure him of that this was reality.  You can tell you are truly in love, for it is little more than living in dreams awake.

He thought back to the day before.  Her missed connection followed by his sudden decision.  If she could not come to me I would go to her.  It was madness.  A midnight race across the staked plane with only the single light of his motorcycle to guide him.  Well, that and the single flame that burned in his heart.  A love that burned as fierce as it burned bright.  No sacrifice was too great, no price too dear.  He would charge hell with only a bucket of water for her.  Just as she, she would have done for him.  Or so he thought.  That is one of the desperate side effects of love.  It forces you to be vulnerable.  To take off the mask that you can live within and you dare not live without.  A small price to pay for living in a dream awake.  For dreams cost nothing... save everything.

There is nothing more powerful when two are joined in the same dream.  She sifted.  The slight scent of the grace of sweat born from the passion play of the night before clung to our bodies.  It didn't matter.  It was real.  She woke.  That was real.  He watched the tiny movements accompanying her stirring to life.  As her eyes slowly opened and looked for his. Without hesitation, a smile graced her lips.  The prize he so desperately had sought.  A reality that reinforced the rebirth of the dream.  With a kiss the dawn had broken, and for a moment the two entered into their dream awake.  Even if by this time, he was the only one lost in the dream, such is love.
