DREAMS

Dreaming of the future, Dreaming of the past, Dreaming of the present moment, Dreams one hopes will last, Dreaming always hoping, Dreaming always forgiving, Dreams always dreaming, But never really seeing, Dream of touching stars, Dream of having glory, Dreams...

The Universe cried Out of your womb Woman. You breast fed it Through Milky Way And when the rain Threw its fury over the clouds, The winds carried Your scream As a sign of Birth. The Comets jolted Out of...

Coarse, white sands Swallowed occasionally by salty, crystal waters Sky the lightening apricot of the pensive sunset Ravishing prints like those of a migrating turtle Left in the ground by the chocolate strands of my mother’s hair The delicate curve...
