I
am
human…
born of earth
and water
into air
to breathe
and form thoughts that reach
to clouds
floating
free of walls
collecting
into raindrop tears
that fall
into
closely gathered pools
pains
mingled
where
collected fluid
overflows
and
penetrates the soil
pleading with the ground
to swallow whole
the barrier
that restrains
paths
imagined
by
my
human
Dreamer

Thank you, Amitav! It was inspired by two stories of real “Dreamer” children, one in high school and one in college, unsure of whether they will be deported or not.

Tanya, my wife and I saw a Georgia O’Keeffe exhibition on Friday. She had a quote that I can sum up to define her. She said I am always scared, but I never let my fear stop me from doing something. This is a woman who never shied away from being true to herself. Keith

The poet’s soul bleeds words onto the page. I believe our most powerful words flow when that bleeding comes on behalf of others. i am a Human Dreamer. I dream of a day when we love our global neighbors as the human family they are.

Great flow of thought – like “breathe and form thoughts that reach to clouds floating free of walls.” I can just imagine the thoughts flowing upward. 🙂
