The Love Embrace of the Universe by Frida Kahlo
Faraway Dreams
In faraway dreams in the clouds of a siesta
I went there and meditated among the angels
Laying in the soft billowing silk of heaven
Taking the cold breathless air of pure vision
It seemed a year and a day, though it was not
I was there a thousand lifetimes in a moment
Taking in that coldness of another world
I took in all I could and remembered all
Thinking that when I returned to earthly life
I would be enriched and find new purpose
But it was not so, heaven is not on earth
And there is no purpose here other than to live
Waiting, without caring, doing what feels good
In a touch of a hand, one day, I will return
To that land of faraway dreams where love is
