if only you could see us then
long hair flowing
swallowing up the sunshine
drinking in the rain.
if only you could see us then
patchwork skirts and barechested beauties
forever young.
spinning, dancing
eyes closed chanting.
today we are doctors, professors, writers, photographers, teachers. we are everything and so much more. we carry these secrets of our former selves, hidden in our pockets, sewn into the seams of our clothes.
we are in there, shining.
looking out with love in our eyes
shaking our heads at the absurdity of it all.
singing the songs of ourselves
dancing just to feel the wind.

It takes the poet to see sublime art in this image and so your words dance to its light beautifully...
