A man wakes up to the sound of rain 
From a dream about his lovers 
Who pass through his room.

They brush lightly by, these lovers. 
They pass. Never touching. 
These passing lovers move through his room.

He can't get to sleep again. 
So he repeats these words 
Over and over again: 
Bravery. Kindness. Clarity. 
Honesty. Compassion. Generosity. 
Bravery. Honesty. Dignity. 
Clarity. Kindness. Compassion.
