Gather
every morsel
of hope,
precious gift,
and open your eyes
to its wonder;
common images
earthly sights
hourly routines
that maintain
the equilibrium
of why and how
you live
and lived.
Delight
in what are your joys
and then
for just a brief moment
let them close
to the darkness
and paint
upon the canvass
of your soul
portraits
of secret longings
that come alive
in these minutes
of solitude
called dreaming,
art forms to dance.
