Notes About The Poem

And When You Choose To Dream

Dream the dreams that have never been dreamt. David Bower

 And When You Choose to Dream  

Go on wings of hope
Not tiny robins’ wings
but bold and tireless dragon wings,
ethereal, shadowy, intangible in the air.

Go to the hazy realms beyond the imaginary
beyond the trancelike spell of what is unattainable
Where the unreal becomes real, 
even the dreamlike becomes surreal

Live on the words that bind your heart
Return - when you have the answers.
