if we choose

i have nothing to sell––
         there’s nothing for you to buy.

       there may be a poem or two--––
god-signs & angel-marks
               like fireflies in the dark.
   
                i am the mist
that grows in the night
         that fills the lungs
             of your dreams
                         & seeks
                   your heart.

   you needn’t look for me
       i’m always near.

if our stars align
         if we drop our fears
                & if we choose

      our human arms will enfold
                   our souls

             as naturally as

       daylight drinks the dew.
