PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You build mountains

but from where you are

you say they look like falling
apart

and cover your head

just in case they come crumbling down.

They are made of something I can’t break.

You sew us together

in a twist of words

until we don’t know our own
names…

we just know we belong here.

Our ties have your fingerprints.

If you can reach past the ground you’re locked on

I want to lay dreams for
you like railroads

until there’s nowhere you can’t go.

You stepped to the air.

The stars said your name

and we all looked up.
