being with cora

the miracle is
breathing––

she is running
around giggling
in the dome of
light.

there is no
difference between
dream & prayer.

i asked the sun
for a prayer,
& the sun said,
“cora taught me
to laugh.”

i asked the sky
for a dream,
& the sky said,
“cora makes me
smile.”

i asked the clouds
for a wish,
& they told me,
“cora showed us
how to dance
like rain drops
in a puddle.”

& the flowers
dreamed in color
across the fields
of time.

every day is
brighter now––
every second
is loving.

i came to my
heart. it was bigger
now & she was
waiting inside

& there we will
always always always
be together.
