One Single Impression: Quagmire

IMG 1746

Langorous earth wraps heavy limbs
Around the timid sunlight of January
She softens with breaths
That will become roses, come June.

This earth that cannot bear your weight
Will bear your dreams

If you step aside.

  9. Yet the paradox is, we hope, there are enough dreamers to carry forward the dream...no?
