Dreams need grounding in reality!

'On the mountains, snow sheens white
Amid clouds, the moon shines bright.
I hear you have a fickle heart.'

[weifinder]

'Old friend, tell me
has not a wild goose reached you there?'

[downswing]

Mercy. Do not thin the face of an old man before his son.

[weifinder]

He thinks nothing ill of you, only joy for your expanded affections.

done

[downswing]

Then, I shall hold my secrets.

[weifinder]

Hold as you must. Just aim not to withhold, as I likewise try.

[downswing]

I shall whisper words into your hair, your pillow.

[weifinder]

Waking and sleeping, sweet and soft?

[downswing]

You are not that man.

[weifinder]

I mean are you going to whisper any of those things while I wake, husband.

[downswing]

No.

[weifinder]

See? Devious, devious man.

[downswing]

Flattery incurs vanity.

[weifinder]

Or fondness, vanity in measured amounts is fine! Most emotions are, I think, as I age it seems to be the case when everything is in moderation instead of excess, it's fine. Even jealousy, when not used as a blade.

[downswing]

As you age, in a body of twenty, twenty-five summers.

[weifinder]

It's nice to be finally aging again. Such as it is!

[downswing]

I wish to see your wrinkles, earned.

[weifinder]

Will you at least oblige me by earning a few in the process too?

[downswing]

I would wish to.

( if they managed to live, first. )

Then we shall make it so. To the best extent we can, whichever world.

( since there's always the chance that the universe simply won't allow it. but he doesn't have to choose that belief. he can, and does, choose hope. )
