“Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?” —Alfred Lord Tennyson

In my dream I see her rarity
at a smart picture gallery
to which her heart is the lock
and my art the key

Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.

―Don Miguel Ruiz

She is cocooned in silk
the cream of mother’s milk
a pearly-hued chrysalis
a screen drawn by Rilke

Who’s not sat tense before his own heart’s curtain.

―Rainer Maria Rilke

Lovingly she sings for me
an aria from a balcony
with surround sound
in high fidelity

Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven.

―Henri Frederic Amiel

I dream of her constantly
as she is dreaming of me
unlocking her rarity
at a smart picture gallery

For life is but a dream whose shapes return, some frequently, some seldom, some by night and some by day.

―James Thomson
