Drifting Tranquil in the Cosmos

In my dreams my lover and I floated on our backs in a translucent sea. We held hands to keep from drifting apart.

“I don’t want you drifting away again,” he told me.

I stared up at the night sky and watched the heavens open. Clouds parted to reveal impossibly huge and colorful plants spinning in their orbits. Stars showered toward us. I shuddered at the skeptical and he laughed at my amazement. Sea kelp fettered seductively around my ankles but I was not afraid.

I saw us from above, his astonishingly dark hair and my blond tresses branching around our heads like the rays of little suns.
