O dreams
O dreams, you give wings to our lives. You encourage slaves, born in the cradle of misery, to aspire freedom from their masters. Your fire emboldens a nation to rise against a tyranny. O dreams, you sweeten the pain of a pauper. Riding the chariot of hope, he carries the dreams of possessing the riches. Your saccharine consolations help a prisoner to fight the pangs of loneliness. O dreams, seeds buried under the blanket of snow, in your warm company, sprout during the spring. You squeeze out the sap of stagnation from our hearts, from our minds. You inspire us to know the secrets hidden in the heavens. O dreams, in your pleasing company, we navigate around the boulders of daily difficulties, carrying the earthly, and the celestial dreams, in our hearts. I say: hold fast to your dreams, for they manure the roots of hope, for they illuminate the precincts of our hearts, for they sustain us between the alp of life and the precipice of death. ©️ https://www.poeticnoesis.com/ Once again
Just when I thought I had doused my fires, I saw an amorous spring changing things again; Just when I saw snowdrops, hellebore, Dancing tulips, and the sunshine, I saw my dreams murmuring again; Just when I saw the fluttering Butterflies, and the singing birds, I saw an old flame flickering again. Once again, caught in the talons Of leman, my heart is carried helplessly Over a new terrain. Once again, my days are filled With the ecstasy, and strain. ©️ https://www.poeticnoesis.com/ |
