i dream of lighthouses,
endless lobster, and endless laughter.

i dream of coffee shops with kind baristas
and espresso
that sends surges of energy
to my toes.

i dream of kind faces
and soft waters
i am so simple
i just want the sky to be a thin sheet of light gray
and the clouds to be so low
i can walk through them.

i want everchanging leaves
so that i can change with them
but i am the girl who never leaves
i am everchanging
but i am evergreen.

put me in the ground and my roots
will tread through the dirt
kissing every pebble
dancing and diving through the air pockets
and when i reach this middle earth i dream of
who are you to tell me
i can’t?
