Once & Future

We painted dawn into midnight
Out of cement ceilings, we made skylights 
From gravel we crafted fine and delicate chandeliers 
and hung them with fishing wire so they appeared to float in midair 
We turned copper piping into rings 
Venus circling our fingers 
The oxidation turned our digits green 
Our limbs transforming into ferns and orchids 
We breathed and our condensation created clouds 
Our tears fed the sea 
We prayed 
To all the living things 
We sat in silence with the trees 
Our feet rooting into the ground 
To touch the highest energy 
The evergreens an us 
We breathed in tandem and inside our lungs sprung a forest of veins 
Mimicking their cousins limbs 
We sprouted two intricate flowers in our minds 
For the left and right hemispheres 
and we hung our thoughts there 
Believing that the petals would keep them safely tucked away 
We recognized ourselves 
Didn't need mirrors to see our likeness 
Even the dirt felt like our skin 
The sand, our bones in a trillion pieces 
We walked atop these beaches 
Sinking in, our legacy holding us 
There was silence and we were not afraid 
There was peace and we were not anxious 
There was a world we did not conquer
