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.

I don’t define myself as a poet, I have many things I like to do, but fiction is my favorite. Whereas you love to read and review. Just because you don’t consider yourself a poet, doesn’t mean that you don’t have talent for it. π
