I awaken within the bright light of midnight

   ~sign my name with life's ink~

upon the paper thin skin of a birch bark tree

and my arms feel the air as it rustles the leaves

   ~willowed thoughts~

watch the pale undersides of the leaves shimmering

   ~mosquito hideaway~

I step sprightly over the mosses and lichens
as they give way to the slightest pressure

   ~my tentative foot falls~

in the spruce tipped edge of the hill by my cabin
I hear a raven calling my name

   ~I fall to the ground~

listening to the sound of shrews burrowing tunnels,
watching as the scavenger squirrel scampers
tree-to-tree with his you-can't-catch-me attitude

   ~caught unawares by a determined black lab~

I wake up to find myself on the hardwood floor
of a small city bedroom in Oregon

~far removed from the land of the midnightsunshine~

Ah Kacy...

for a moment I imagined
you had asked for a duet...

and then did it alone.

~*~

I step sprightly over the mosses and lichens
as they give way to the slightest pressure

~my tentative foot falls~

in the spruce tipped edge of the hill by my cabin
I hear a raven calling my name

~I fall to the ground~

~*~

There was a very special give and take
that you left in your imagery...
of solid ground
and carrying air...

I enjoyed this Very Much!

Good morning! I've had this dream and a similar one several times since leaving Alaska. Guess it means I must not be done with that place.

But still...in your sleep you can step sprightly. Sometimes, I suppose, waking up is a disappointment.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
