Poem: If I Could Dream Again

arriannaplaney

If I could dream again

Maybe I could love once

In the face of impossibility

Defying logic and clinging to hope

If I could see with the eyes of faith

I would see that the fruition of possibility

begins with dogged hope

and the reward lies at the finish line

If I loved as I am capable of

I could look back into his eyes

and delve deeper unafraid

that this love could hurt

wrote this poem back in April:

If only I could dream again

I might might see

hope, faith and love

the greatest of which is love
