Sweet Dreams

What do you dream about
when you sleep?

I watch you and I wonder
every night.

When your eyelids flutter
and do not see

I wonder what vivid
scenes they behold.

And when your arms reach out
though nothing is there

I wonder to myself what
thing you wish it were.

You murmur
a gentle sound
that does not rouse you

I wonder which
words you would say

if you could

once you wake.
