Tender Dream

Wanderlino Arruda

The dream must not end.
It doesn’t!
I want it to be good and perpetual,
always present,
everlasting!
Wonderful,
expressive as the gaze of a charming woman.
Joyful dream, colorful dream,
much more than happy!
So beautiful a vision,
so tender a vision
as the smile that enchants
my life’s most savored moments.
