hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die
life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly.
hold fast to dreams
for when dreams go
life is a barren field
frozen with snow.
``ocean of love
i gave you a stone from the ocean
a smooth, black pebble
darkness caressed by the sea
shingled over and over
cool in the palm
a stone cold
until held close
by your heartbeat
through rise and fall of tides
deep as the depths of forever.
``violet
violet's inviolate
she shrinks away
by the time she's ready
to butter her cup
another daisy's gone by.
