places i am not/dreaming

Dear God

Where is my heart.

I sit alone bleeding

blue ink onto white page,

adoring the ocean shore

and other places

I am not.

The sun,

the sea,

the sky

Good books

sweet fruit

peace of mind,

flowing fabrics

quiet

quiet talk

soft and passionate

  embraces

All the notebooks in the world

Perfect pens

Time and space for thinking

Watching birds

and clouds

Light on my skin,

on the sand,

in my soul.
