you’ll try to meditate anyway
even with the alphabet kids
from your workplace still haunting
your brain and heart
stretching out on your bed
trying more fully to breathe
till there’s dark green forest
behind your eyes
creating your own space
imagining
you standing in a night forest
but it’s a clear night
doodling patterns on your thoughts
your simple dress is loose
woven from cotton and linen
but in the rare sacred colour
of gold ochre
embroidered tone in tone
you’re not sure you even knew
this colour existed
gold ochre
the gold looking surprisingly bold on you
giving you a feeling of abundance
like you’re possessing inner riches
in the dark green forest
looking around you
walking through tall grass
becoming aware of a movement
in the air like bubbles
flowing from your dress
they seem to be made from gold filigree
but far more ethereal
ascending like miniature spaceships
seeming to emanate
from the gold in your dress
following your thoughts
you’re thinking of the alphabet kids
visualizing their faces
and more gold filigree bubbles
are born and airborne
you know intuitively
they’re teaching materials
but you can’t imagine how
do you need to dream them
for them to exist
or are they symbols to access
in the day world also
will the children be able to see them
or will they just heal something
in their brains and hearts
you’re watching them sailing
high on the waves of morning
then disappear like starships
when day breaks
smiling leaving behind
the shimmering magic morning
you rise and shine
you know you need to learn more
