Daydreams

Somewhere in a far off future, I am

                dancing

                                twirling

                                               singing

Maybe in a karaoke bar

Where the lights are orange orbs

And neon tequila signs

As you say

              “ I love you ”

And mean it in every sense of the word.

I spin over to you

A hurricane of hand-stitched fabric

And you dip me

Low, in a flourish

So that I know

It is from the depths of your heart 

That you feel that strange pulsing too.

Maybe I will be wearing pink

Or mauve or bright sunflower yellow

Or any one of those colors

I could not bring myself to wear today.

You will smile

               heavenly

And I will know

That I have done everything right

Because I am there with you.
