I Dream of a Dream of You

I dream of a dream of you.
I can't wait for sleep, where I reach
to hold you as I reach into a stream
to touch the sun.

I dream of a dream of you,
where each moment you move and smile
from an imagination not my own
like a flower unscrolled by water.

I dream of a dream of you
as I lie down on tomorrow's sky
across 30,000 miles of rock
and a light year of space.

I dream of a dream of you
where today is yesterday and tomorrow.
I no longer look for yesterday's sun
to bring past skies over my head.

I dream of a dream of you
predicting how tomorrow's sky will cause
us to see it, what clouds and colors
will be imagined by the chemicals of the horizon.

I dream of a dream of you.
You know how you are a fire for me.
I turn out the light and close my eyes
and look for you again in the dark.
