I and you

Gary Bachlund

We dreamed of each other

and it awakened us;

we live to love each other

and drop back into the night.

You stepped from my dream

and I stepped from yours.

We will die when one of us

has become entirely lost in the other's.

On a lily vibrate

two drops, pure and round;

they melt into one and roll

down into the bottom of the chalice.
