In your dreams...

Angel,

I hope that you slept well. And when you slept I hope you dreamt.  I hope that your dreams took you to secret places of wonder and beauty - the place in your heart where a secret candle burns, ambered light casting flickering shadows looming larger than your own body.

I hope you dreamt of swimming under a clear blue ocean - gliding and turning to run your hand along her smooth belly of a great whale as it swims above you - and to feel the power of its mighty tail as one final thrust propels it to a final farewell, in a wild current water and white bubbles.

I hope your dreams took you to flight - bursting through white clouds into a brilliant sky. Your outstretched fingers to touch the feathered wingtips of a golden eagle - sharp eyed, sharp beaked, and a piercing cry of triumph. I hope you soared high enough to see the world as a blue marble - a jewel on black velvet - and a million tiny diamond forever in every direction.

I hope you dreamed of holding the hands of loved ones - those who love you and watch over you. I hope that you spoke of all that you need to know. I hope that in your dreams you know that they are always there.

I hope that you dreamt of standing straight and tall and proud. I hope that you dreamt of your happiness and knowing where it was. I hope that you dreamt of all the beauty and wonders that are within you. I hope that you dreamt you.

Just me.
