1.You began to draw,
2.And let out a small sigh.
3.The large, rippling bundles of light
4.Streaming through the window
5.Bounce off your profile.6.
7.My body is a gathering of rain,
8.Your fingers are spring’s gentle sunlight filtering through the trees.
9.The splashes of ink on the paper paint shadows that depict our profiles.10.
11.I dreamed a long dream—
12.We were aboard a hot air balloon.
13.It would be wonderful if someone far away mistook it for the moon.14.
15.When I saw that sea,
16.My soul leapt violently.
17.You were captivated by the white school of fish.18.
19.You began to draw,
20.And let out
21.A small sigh.
22.The large, rippling lines
23.And hesitant traces
24.Bounce at your fingertips.25.
26.I dreamed a long dream—
27.Our hot air balloon soared on.
28.It would be wonderful if those stars and that sky turned out to be just paint.29.
30.When I saw that sea,
31.My soul leapt violently.
32.You were mesmerized by the color of the horizon.33.
34.I gazed at the wide expanse of the earth—
35.Our hot air balloon carried on.
36.It would be wonderful if this dream were a continuation of the book we read that day.37.
38.When I saw that sea,
39.My soul leapt violently.
40.We try to understand what lies beyond the horizon.
41.You are searching for the school of white fish.
