Paint & Paper

by Sophie Lorraine Smith

I'm going to leave bowls of paint &

paper in the woods, offerings &

prayers to no one, to nothing &

to the future.

A future that is waiting for me &

that I am waiting for.  Home &

hearth for my soul &

body on the other side of the tall &

tangled trees.  Maybe I am wrong &

maybe there is nothing there.

But I can be a fool &

I can hope.
