She is the one haunting
and the haunted;
the chalice and the wine;
the lover
and the beloved;
the singer and the song.
Because he can come to her
only in dreams
she feels their roles merge,
separate, merge again;
their energy moves, mingles,
passes away;
A spiral downward into an abyss,
a deep cavern
echoing with the sounds
of joy.

This is very beautiful. I love that she is both of the things listed.....lover and beloved, singer and song.......we we all are, when we stop to think about it.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are the writers of our dreams and ultimately play all the characters. Sounds like a beautiful dream.
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond gorgeous💞 especially love: "the chalice and the wine/the lover and the beloved/the singer and the song. Because he can come to her only in dreams." Thank you so much for writing to the prompt!💞
ReplyDeleteMakes me a bit teary. Yet it's sweetly said, and the duality a fascinating concept.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...It is so hard to pull from a dream that fills the core with passion.
