In our simple dream of Love,
We meet,
Walk together,
Rear children,
Bow to each other,
And die.
What encloses us
as we meet?
What encloses us
as we walk?
What encloses us
as we touch?
What encloses us
as we stammer
sure that the other
cannot be thanked
enough?
What encloses us
in the glad silence
of Life's ending?
What encloses us,
what Current runs in us,
what apart from our own Dream
comprises us
before
we dream
as
we dream
after
we have dreamed
Our simple dream of Love?
