Ruth the Dreamer

Who is the dreamer,

what is the dream,

Who begets , the perceived or the perception

She is the dreamed and the dreamer;

Seeing summer nights with Caribbean flare

She is becoming

Humid and dry heat tinged with salt,

Golden memories preserved in antimony

Childhood fireflies chased barefoot through tall grasses

Youth turning to womanly grace,

She has found her heart,

Though not once was it lost,

Reception through slumber’s sleepy grasp,

She sees the vision,

What was, what is , and is to come;

“Show her the truth”

The Teacher utters;

“Open her eyes;”

“Give her a double portion;”

She shares;

obtuse are many

Yet the elect receive

She is the dreamer

Her dreams shape her intent,

Her heart , given to the giver,

Salt her words;

measured; careful yet passionate

So the dreamer becomes the dancer, and the dancer the teacher

She goes before to reveal;

How;

The young become the old,

The unlearned become the learned,

The hopeless become the hopeful

The spark of a potential realized blazes

The limited becomes the boundless

Love you Rmtappin
