Smoke's
Dream
before the foundations
of the earth
when our world,
was just a misty
shadow in the
firmament,
we watched God work
and talked about all the things
we would do
in our new home ...
we weren't dreaming of violets,
the salty air
or sea foam between our toes,
but we got them anyway.
we weren't wishing
for the flavor of lemons
or amber beads of honey
on our tongues,
but we got them
anyway.
we didn't dream
of the lives God
would give us,
the liquid hearts,
gleaming eyes,
ambitious journeys
and foggy memories.
we didn't ...
and we got them
anyway.
