I Dream of You in Colors That Don’t Exist

A long time ago

You came into existence

And from you all of us were born.

A long time ago

You were home to the first humans

Probably before we decided on things to disagree on

Things to hate each other for

Ways to manipulate power.

A long time ago

You were a culmination of everything right in the universe.

And a long time ago

You gave us as a species

Somewhere to land.

To live.

To experience.

To love.

To grow.

To be. 

Nuestra Tierra.

The depths of your ocean we explore

The vast continents we travel

Into your deepest crevices

Your darkest caves

Your warmest islands

We stand.

We walk.

We run

Trying to find something.

We look at you and ponder existence.

Look at you and ponder

How we can show up as the best version of ourselves

To represent the type of beauty that you show us.

So when I dream of you

I dream of everything beautiful.

When I dream of you

I dream of you in blurple and yeen

Gellow and vlue.

I dream of you in browns only you can create

And greens that existed in you first.

I dream of you in the colors that you parented

That we can only replicate.

I dream of you in colors that span the imagination

That stretch across the universe

I dream of you and I think about everyone that has walked down this same street 

Across the same field

Traveled the same oceans

For so many years. 

I dream of you and I think of everything and nothing at all.

I dream of you and my breath is taken away.

The breath that your trees provide to me.

I dream of you and I think miracle.

I think divine timing.

I think sacred.

I think whole.

I dream of you in grass blades.

I dream of you in flower petals.

I dream of you in streams.

I dream of you in mountain ranges.
I dream of you in valleys. 

I dream of you in marsh and swamp. 

I dream of you in sand.

I dream of you in grains of sand.

I dream of you in the waves of the sea.

I dream of you in sharedness.

In strength.

In hot magma.

I dream of you in all of the elements.

I dream of you in earth, wind, fire, water.

I dream of you amongst the stars

And then I feel amongst the stars.

I dream of you in tandem with the moon

And then I feel connected to the moon.

I dream of you in colors that don’t exist.
