You were in my dream last night.
Surrounded by happy noise,
Kids, family, life.

A gentle kiss.
You said, looking at me skeptically, “That was nice.”

Life flowed around us the way things shift in dreams,
Seamlessly from place to place, moment to moment.

Through it all we, you and I, shared 
A soft gentle love.

In every scene you, you and I were at the center.
Safe space,
Caring attention,
Room to expand.

That was nice...
