Written October 16, 2008, for Irene Prado, a dear friend, for her birthday, in response to the first and only poem she has written in English, “(Don’t) Look Back”. I feel that other special people I know may enjoy and relate to this piece, so I am finally sharing it, for the first time.
Dreaming for Consciousness
Consciousness today demands contentment
For celebrating life is her only wish
Laughter shall be her present
Gifted with smiles unforlorn
Belief bestows new life
Birthed within her heart and mind
Spirit vanquishes her shame
Soul unleashes new rhythms
Truth reveals its beauty
Love wipes away her tears
Sleep opens the map
Dreams guide her to you

the best birthday present ever!
I hope to see it published in a book one day! (and I will want a signed copy, btw)
