Dream: April 3, 2018

I’m draped in cedar

Woven cedar

And a hat

 

She leads me

Because I cannot go without her

 

It is for me to honor others,

For me to walk with grace

 

And, yet, still, I search for

Skins I need to shed

The robes that I can do without

Left somewhere

Carelessly

Not needed anymore

 

You are moving

Sometimes slowly

Awkwardly

But moving
