Waking, Walking, Singing, in the Next Dimension? 1979 by Morris Graves
via Magpie Tales

dawn is a feeling
warmth that spreads
from shoulder to cheek

freedom means boundaries
landmarks of habit
indicators of progress 

voices are familiar songs 
each new generation
produces its convincing covers

life is smelly
but you'll always know
you are home

  5. Rene, a wonderful write here. I especially liked this verse

    your senses twisted
    tested, resisted.
    then trusted

    which seemed especially strong...

There was a haunting beauty behind her eyes, beyond her sorrow, a beauty that found its way into one’s heart and led them home.
