Soft Goodbye

Roots in unseen air, Dreams rise where no soil is bare— Freedom lights the heart, Growth chooses its own true way, Dreams weave threads in silent play.

I like those woven dreams that we all have in our lives. Sometimes those dreams are starved because they don't have their roots in some good soil, but one can always work on that if they keep on living. Thanks for sharing this thoughtful work with us. Sara K

Thanks so much, Sara! I really appreciate your thoughtful words. You're right—dreams just need the right soil and a bit of care to grow again.
