On Finding One's Soulmate

Slipping into slumber, such a peaceful state of grace, Where all the world is possible and nothing is denied, Before my dreaming eyes I recognize your loving face, Miraculously never scarred by years of time and tide. You come to me in silence then, your arms outstrectched and warm, I slide into them eagerly and melt against your mind, Enwrapped in you, and you in me, protected from the storm, We know each other's deepest wants, for this has been designed By some decree beyond us over which no heart can rule, Some name it fate, some name it luck, some name it torment too, But he who would yet challenge it will find himself a fool, The gods exert their will and, effortless, exact their due. So acquiescing silently, no thought this to defy, No matter how impossible and moonstruck it may seem, We give each to the other, every sustenance supply, For who would choose to waken from this perfect priceless dream?
