A selected poem from “Winter shall fade ….”

DREAMS

I embrace my dreams

Just like the moon

Embraces the moonlight

Or the veil of night

Embraces the stars.

I fall in love with them

Little by little

And they come to me

Bit by bit

Kissing me

Hugging me

Skimming me,

As if drizzling upon me

And covering me with affection,

Percolating like fragrance

All over my being

And singing

Some happy numbers.

Keep dreaming

For

The relationship

Between dreams and self

Is the most fulfilling…
