I stand aloft between sky above and water below. Aged trees on the shore far behind me sway and sigh in strong Summer winds.

High above a rainbow-hued frog floats gracefully through the dusk sky, chased by the churning wheel of Desire.

Beside me stands the Goddess of Love and Flesh smiling calmly with fiery dark eyes.

When my eyes meet hers the trees silence their sighing and I see the wheel of Desire cease spinning, standing still in the sky while the colorful creature dives effortlessly, willingly into the deep waters below.

The dream from which I shall never awake.
