|| dream within dreams ||

The dream of becoming a river

is in the eyes

of the limpid water

the dream of becoming a sea

is in the eyes

of the unsteady river

the dream of becoming a cloud

is in the eyes

of the stormy sea

the dream of quenching their thirst

is in the eyes

of the gathering clouds

the dream of getting you

is in my

restless eyes

just like

pleasant dreams

are in the eyes

of the earth.
