Start with a visual of loving couples, families, sisters, etc...
Narration: When you love someone, you want to experience everything that they experience together and you feel happy just by watching them. for example, sleeping. Couples, sisters, friends, and families sometimes love watching each others sleep, peacefully and quietly. It gives a silence, peace, a time for people to closely take a look at their loved ones.

Reading the poem
soft piano accompaniment music
video of Rachel sleeping and me caressing her
or a teddy bear maybe
capture of face reading in between and shifting back to the scene
I would like to watch you sleeping, which may not happen. I would like to watch you, sleeping. I would like to sleep with you, to enter your sleep as its smooth dark wave slides over my head and walk with you through that lucent wavering forest of bluegreen leaves with its watery sun & three moons towards the cave where you must descend, towards your worst fear
I would like to give you the silver branch, the small white flower, the one word that will protect you from the grief at the center of your dream, from the grief at the center. I would like to follow you up the long stairway again & become the boat that would row you back carefully, a flame in two cupped hands to where your body lies beside me, and you enter it as easily as breathing in I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed & that necessary.
