colours of le carnivale ~

{sometimes in the dreaming we discover}

i caught a thought & held it for an afternoon,

then let it float up, up out the window

on paisley ribbons & soar

higher than it had ever been.

i had hoped to follow it, but

soon found it lying on a patch

of wild strawberries,

fragrant with traces of heaven

& rain.

{how dreamful!}
