A DAYDREAM

by Mark Marcus
My Love:
 
Do you know where I am now?

I am in a daydream of you and me being together; being together as the tom-toms play.

We are tied together beyond any untying for I am inside you and you, inside me; inside me as the tom-toms play. 

We are swimming through the seas of life, occasionally glimpsing distant islands of uncertainty that keep us not from our destiny of living, laughing, lusting, loving; yes loving, as the tom-toms play. 

Here, time is only a whisper, sorrow but a speck of dust in the wake of the whisper and pain merely an ancient mirage.

Blackness, whiteness, red green yellow and blueness caress us, embrace us, slip slide and go through us as we glide into each other’s light.

We say nothing for words are not enough, feelings are not enough, thoughts are not enough; not even the glory of heaven is enough to capture the power of our love; a power that can only be expressed as the tom-toms play.

Oh My Sweet Baby, wish for me and I will wish for you; for upon that wish our journey will, one day, start.

And as I wake from my daydream I, at long last, discover that the deep, steady, and forever unending sound of the tom-toms is the music you bring to my waiting heart.

My Love:
 
Do you know where I am now?
