Dreams

Hold your dream

in the palm of your hand

and when it attempts to fly away

grab onto it and demand

all the power you have.

Open then your hand again

and do the same

when the dream leaps.

Shortly, there will come a day

when you open your hand and

the dream does not fly away.

Understand that dreams are timid and afraid--

they must learn that they are in good hands

before they will stay. That's just 

what dreams do,

part of the way

their wings work.
