Ag

 

You were so small

when you showed me your hands

with your fingernails

painted silver.

 

How you smiled

so proudly

as I showed you

 

my toes

to match.

 

Little dream one, I know this—

your hands

are meant to write me,

 

my midnights

blue-dark

but ribboned with silver linings.

This prompt at Poets and Storytellers United came at the perfect time.  I recently had this silver-themed dream and had been intending to write a poem about it.
