Another dream


Floating softly, light as air in tepid water so dark
There is something draping over me gently round in a celestial arc
Clinging, magnetised toward my core once having found its mark.
What it is? 

A length of flimsy cloth or the finest silken sheet
Sliding like a live creature around my slowly flailing arms and feet
Caressing my still body with near imperceptible ripples fleet.
What is this? 

Wrapping itself as if with a slight but purposeful chill
Like a huge slithering rope of sea kelp almost still
My torso covered in the drape of a goddess on a Greek hill.
Again, what it is? 

I am unafraid but aware of the dark, wet, dangerous place
Bobbing to the surface now and then a quick breath to chase
A calm ethereal feeling, no palpable movement on my face
What’s happening? 

The wetness moves, has no strength, just to hold
My wrapping takes no direction, just needs to me enfold
Barest of light, yet transparent, darkening, luminous gold.
Don’t I resist? 

 A strange living material shifts in a gossamer flirtation
Tenuous tendrils of satin like a lover’s touch of brief duration
All resistance faded away from a fearsome temptation.
Is there a question? 

Low lit shimmering of a watery dark creature appear
Imperceptible, disembodied spirit faintly fear
Panic is not considered just one curious yielding tear.
Why, what, where, when and how?
