Poem for the day

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.

--"Dreams", Langston Hughes

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” --C.G. Jung

where the clouds are far behind me
