Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Rhyme

Dreams Will Keep

Photo by Rhonda Pearson Smith



Thickening fog hung beneath the willow tree
consumes dreams of your lost poetry.
From sandalwood-scented sleep,  
I kiss you and weep.      
Love songs will
keep,
lustrous still.
Silver lyrics creep         
to gold dust dawn from the deep 
creases of clouded sleep, where I free
thickening fog hung beneath the willow tree.
