In the Ashes of Dreams

What remains

of dreams

after the fire

has burned out

what if the bitter smoke

that lingers

only reveals the value

of untainted air

what remains

there among the mud

that has washed down

the hill

what if a flood

was the only way

to fertilize the soil

of the valley

where we are

what if the black

that has consumed the day

only enhances the color

of the stars

splattered across the canvas of the sky

of questions

what remains

when all that was lost

were the things that kept

us where we were

wondering what it might be like

to be free
