our weary footsteps imprint into sands of time…”

Evanescence
"you linger in dreams
immersed in a placid teal sea
protected in the chest of my heart..."

turbid from stretches of exasperated erosion
stirred up in colors of boundless branches
will gracefully empty into an endless ocean”

buried in a hibernaculum of hope
held in a myriad of young dreams…”

if we take some time
to get to know them by name…”

fixed in shapes—we risked not touch
arrayed in colors—we often ignored
traveling in lifestyles—we did not understand
and speaking in voices—we failed to hear”
