Impressions Whilst you Sleep

        While you sleep

        I live here, somewhat alone.

        I am confused by my thoughts,

        My ideas,

        My feelings,

        and My Visions.

        I want to share them all with You.

        Every single detail within this picture I am painting inside,

        I want them to belong to you too.

        I'd like for You to be here,

        to stand beside me and look at this painting...

        sigh, and say how beautiful it is.

        To know that every messy thought

        Every rough feeling

        And each hazy Vision

        Make something grand and amazing...

        Like Renoir's "Arab Festival"

        To know that the celebration is there,

        and our hearts are dancing somewhere within.

        To see the light and colours from this distance,

        and understand that we are represented through them.

        While you sleep.

        I have this dream.
