London Dreaming<\/p><\/div>\n

Cay Denise wrote me regarding a poem she wrote inspired by my “London Dreaming” piece, a digital collage and small textile wallhanging I created a few years back.\u00a0 She gave me permission to post it here.\u00a0 Please keep in mind that it’s her work, and please don’t use her work without her permission.\u00a0 If you need to contact her, please do so here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EMBOLDENED<\/em><\/p>\n

Momentum
\nsweeps us
\ntowards the fractals of our future…
\n…clouded
\nby an inability
\nto time travel the distance.<\/em><\/p>\n

Propelled forward\u2026
\n\u2026we write our history by
\nthe last footstep
\non the path taken
\nof the paths not taken
\nwhere our actions and inactions
\nour words and
\nour works
\nmake meaning of us.<\/em><\/p>\n

A step is a mighty bridge,
\nfrom the land of what we were
\nto that of what we will become.
\nWith each one
\na version of us,
\nblooming with memory,
\ntime and place,
\ncreates a sculpted depiction
\nof that moment\u2026forever.<\/em><\/p>\n

Buried in future\u2019s tombs
\nstatues of our choices.
\nSome gilded\u2026 others,
\nghosts of guilt,
\nunlived pleasures
\nunforgiven pains\u2026
\n\u2026haunting the histories we live with
\nand the origin of our next journey.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, with every beginning
\nconsider each step anew.
\nFor the bridge
\ncan take you anywhere
\nand be the becoming
\nyou wish to step in to.<\/em><\/p>\n
