what rises up to meet us

there is nothing but dusk and the dust to make it 
I marvel at the unreality of wonder in our world

flowing from one dim meaning to the next one 
you are afraid I will never make it safely home

scattered in the grass are the scars of reckoning 
how we are leaving this country of hesitation

to fly to a country of hope, our hands like wings
feathery and wide with prayer, holding nothing

only blossoming like blessings along the main 
all of us dreaming just as hard as we can dream
