Surfacing the Dream (guest post)
Friday, July 15, 2011 at 12:00PM I'm taking a little summer beak through mid-July. During this time I'll be hosting some great guest bloggers and sharing some of my favorite posts from The Word Cellar archives.
Today's guest writer is Kelly Barton. In this post, Kelly shares a poem she wrote after attending an art retreat.

surfacing the dream.
…there are days
where we are in the depths of the water.
above we can see that crisp warming light that dances on the surface.
there are days….
our weighted limbs carry us
as the lights path shines even closer
there are days…..
the burn of the day pushes
and then the breaking of the water
slides against our damp brow.
we gasp to find the breath, that one breath
that promises to put the center back in your day.
there are days…. that sweet center is found.
