Poem: Dream Snatchers

I attended a writing conference today.  While I learned many things about the writing process and the world of publishing, I also learned something most invaluable.  Don't let anyone steal your dreams. 

Dream Snatchers

My dreams go with

Me like

A silken cape

Flowing freely

Along a garden path

Where who I am

And what I am

Takes root,

I sprout

Into the loveliest

Of fruits

Bearing gifts

To share,

My dreams are real,

Don’t snatch them now,

 I have just begun,

You’ll see

How real my dreams

Can be,

I just need some time
alone
to follow the path

In my garden.
