Dreams

by Langston Hughes

Red-Billed Buffalo Weaver, Kruger Nat'l Park, South Africa

　　Hold fast to dreamsFor if dreams dieLife is a broken-winged birdThat cannot fly.Hold fast to dreamsFor when dreams goLife is a barren fieldFrozen with snow. Dreams was featured as The Short Story of the Day on Tue, Feb 01, 2022
