Dreamweaver
In my dream
you came back
like a scented
boomerang
and birds of
the rainforest
hovered
and sang -
a feathered choir
in the
canopy
of joy
they tried
to restore
what others
destroy.
I kiss
every wrinkle
and every
scar
you are
battered and bruised
from travelling
far,
your healing
tears are
wilderness
dew
it’s startling
to see
our world
made new;
and now
you light up
the bleakest
room
weaving strands
of light
on a fragile
loom
