living beyond my dreams

Do Lichen Dream of the Stars?

Made of star stuff,
formed in the giant stars of the past,
as is our earth,
as are we,
do lichen dream of the stars,
beneath the same night skies
that we dream of?

With New Eyes

Oh, to see with new eyes!
What I have seen a thousand times.
Oh, to see as a child again!
Without all the labels and names.
