AFFIRMATION FOR GRATITUDE
some days i see both the sunrise
and sunset – bookends
to wash away the guts
of the mundane that nestle into
the in-between
time is so serrated, but
i know how to slow my steps,
breathe the good air
when i see it
i’m still learning, though,
how to hold these beautiful things
without break-
ing them
HASHTAG DREAM INTERPRETATION
I have this recurring dream
that the ocean rises
to meet us where we are.
The sky falls
and the seven seas empty
at a snail’s pace.
my whole world turns blue
and now
I understand the metaphor.
