Before I Sleep

Every night,

Before I sleep,

I think of those I love,

Have loved,

I hope to love,

Both known and with my dream unseen,

I splash upon the shallow water's edge,

I dive with hope below,

To greet the undiscovered deep.


. . .


"Both known and with my dream unseen": those people I have known in my waking state, and those I have known only in my nights of dream.
