DREAM MAKING

let’s forget about the noise the world makes about
bills and retirement plans
let’s just concentrate on this moment, focus on us

let’s forget about the noise and make our own music
creating heat and rhythm against the cool moonlight
some make music flesh upon flesh, but
our rhyme is your mind entangled with mine, so

let’s get spent on dreaming up visions of
who we are and where we’re going, because
dreaming doesn’t cost us much, plus
we get to walk away with something

let’s put the phones on silent
let our minds wander and see where we end up
creative minds thinking alike
turning thoughts into passions

forget about where time is going
let’s brainstorm beyond these stars
planning secret things only heaven knows, while
holding each other close
breaking ground and barriers with our dream-making
and when we are exhausted and worn out
let’s not worry about the mess, who might see
just focus on what we’ve created together and
what will be

listen, my love, out beyond our window
where the stars and the moon press against the darkness
their wisdom, expansive and calling
their song, our unwrapped gift
they are daring our souls to pay attention
let them show us how to dream
