Dreamer's Prayer of Love

 

 

In my dream I carved my beloved from a stone of marble.

With each strike of my mallet as pieces of stone fell

I saw a past life where we had loved.

As I carved I could hear her laughter and song coming from the stone.

To the image I danced the sculptor's sacred dance and chanted

the dreamer’s prayer of love.

In love with an idea carved from my desires,

I watched as angels came to awaken the soul of my statue.

I kissed her and felt the soft moist lips of my dream come to life.

And we danced the sacred dance of an eternal love.

When I awoke, I was but a small stone in the palm of a woman’s hand,

as her thoughts reflected on an eternal love of a man

that loved her so passionately.
