He wove dreams with and around me
I will take you to the river
and make you a raft
You can lie there and float
with the current.
I'll lift you up by a rope to our own tree
house
We will watch the blue moon together
and hear the owl hoot.
I will send you love letters on lotus leaves
down the river.
I will weave you flower garlands made of
buttercups.
There are open spaces in the forest
where the bamboo bloomed and died
We will go to the stream where the wild
animals drink.
I will show you how the cheetah's eyes
shine in the dark jungle
I will show you how to make baskets
out of palm leaves
And I will make love to you
among the flowers in the hillside
where the birds sing.
