A Visionary Glance 
I sleep, I dream, all around me a bright light engulfs me
Before me stands a vision of love, a sign of hope
A rare gift I had not dared to dream of
Clouds of white and pale blue settle at my bare feet
Yet do not touch me with their unperceived caress
Am I floating, am I here, Is anybody really here?
A whisper of sweetness brushes my cheek
Moist and lightly scented with.....
Familiarity, promise, and acquiescence
I reach for you but you're not there
Yet when I close my eyes I can see you
You're hands tremble as they extend toward me
My heart beats loudly with anticipation
Will I hear your voice, feel your embrace?
Will I know your touch with certainty?
Yes, as sure as my spirit knows the oneness of yours
But souls are all we can touch
Must our desires remain incomplete?
Is the future mapped for you and me?
Will we someday be together?
Is this a glimpse of our possibilities?
A murmur echo's in my head
Of times not yet come forward
And unrequited love
A promise whispered to my heart
Proclaims I'll one day find you
As sure as I will awaken from this dream of love
