Life in Transit

    Roots in the Skies

    2014

    Last night I dreamed of a planet
    Where more hides than can ever be seen
    Where shy creatures that sing to the sunrise
    Play touch-tag in a forest of green

    Last night I dreamed of a highway
    Dry dusty with zebus and flies
    Where small children who wear rags as raiment
    Play sad clowns beneath roots in the skies

    Last night I dreamed of an island
    Where the language unspoken is blue
    Then this morning I woke to discover
    That all I had dreamed of was true
