in dreams i know who i am,
limitless, surefooted,
free of pain
i relearn poise
how to hush and hold myself
folded into the flow
it's easy to be wise when
animals speak and humans don't
no lies are told in dreams
i listen to the deer with human eyes
and see through walls to
star glitter or sunrise
my shoulders sprout wings
creamy, surprising things, and
even though i never fly in dreams
it's a wonder and comfort
just to feel them there
but every morning,
i'm just me again
"my shoulders sprout wings
ReplyDeletecreamy, surprising things..."
Perfect and delicious. As soon as I read this, I wondered how wings could be otherwise. xx
:)
Deleteit's funny, though---i have never once had a dream in which i could fly. even with wings!
