Earth Dreams
FEBRUARY 11, 2009
Lots of dreams last night...
And lots of earth...
moving earth,
rich dark soil,
shovel after shovel,
truck load after truck load...
I find in my dream that our entire front yard
has been covered in earth,
no plants show,
just smooth, soft, crumbled earth...
I awake to find our yard still a verdant glory...
with diamonds of rain lacing each branch...
set on fire in the morning sun peaking through the clouds
between torrential downpours so welcomed...
And instead of a bare tree filled with more earth,
I find plum blossoms...
and a doorway from the dark into the light of day...
