Dreams Foretold

Were these dreams foretold, or Happenstance
These dulcet Whispers of prophesy
From bereft desert to Dank green soil of rebirth
With you; only a Daub of dust as reminder
That I ever doubted the path to us, the Folly of
Remorse for yesteryear's Wafting redolence
Perchance, the reign of rash impulses
In the limit of foresight, were the Flutters
Of emerging wings, lifting me to hope's
Horizon, and landing in your hands.

Michelle, so brightly done, it has suspended me in a silent awe. I do not have my voice yet back, so I cannot speak. I saw this challenge and thought "not me" now I am thinking "triple not me".
