~Sleeping Eve’s Lament~

I sleep - I dream

Eyes shut against visions unreal

Believing I see and hear God

I sleep - I dream

Desiring, devouring

Forbidden harvest

Believing I’m dismantling truths

I sleep – I dream

I fall betraying my soul

Revealing the rawness

A veneer of flora conceals

Believing I’m naked

I sleep - I dream

Reaching inward outside myself

Touching skin to love

Believing I’m birthing sin

I sleep – I dream

Unconscious in fantasia

Waiting to be awakened

Believing Singularity

A Wish

(Photo by Maryanne Mesplé 2016)

My grandson made a wish today

Then blew it upon a breeze

Where a hundred fairies carried his dream

Above and beyond the trees

He looked up into my eyes and grinned

"Nana it's gone!"

I hugged him with a loving gaze that said

"Have faith, it won't be long"
