Dream (story)

I see birds flying overhead,
and the wind rustling the branches of trees.
The city below starts to light up,
as the night slowly creeps in.
The sun is soon to set,
the sky full of stars to the east.
Magnificent hues of red, yellow, and orange dance across the vast emptiness.
The grass beneath me is slightly damp, a chill from the cold air runs down my spine.
My head rises and falls slightly,
with each intake of his breath.
We are as one with the earth,
the sky, and universe.
I turn to look into his eyes,
and feel so much passion from within them.
His lips grace mine,
and I feel like I'm floating in mid-air.
I wake up to find,
it was just a wonderful dream,
that ended too soon.
