Photo of our family plot on Denman Island, which was sold in 2021 to another family. This is the view I was looking at while writing this poem.
Thanks for Dreaming with Me
Abundant are the sun and air
Endless is the sea
Warmth and breath, cool and fresh
Thanks for dreaming with me
Diamond shaped the calls of birds
Supported by the trees
Wind through branches tickles our ears
It’s a dream, love, can you see?
Soft and gentle, flowers and grass
Soothing blankets of green
Natural medicine of the soul
We dream on, happily
Empty are the arms that hold us
Here we are full and free
Brought to life by light and breath
Thanks for dreaming with me
