In the Fragility of Dreams

A world full of wonder, yet so small Uncontrollable, inevitable, fantastical Dashed in a single waking moment Unanticipated, complicated, dissipated Close to the heart, a guarded secret Defensive, sensitive, subjective Locked away, it dies Unresponsive, inactive, unproductive Yet unleashed, it thrives Progressive, excessive, receptive The fragility of dreams Elusive. Impulsive. Creative. 5/18/20 for Silent One’s In the Fragility of Dreams Contest

I love the flow of this descriptive write, Olivia. Best of luck in the contest and thanks for your visit to my poem, Edinburgh! I would love to go there someday. My grandmother's family is from Dunfermline which is just north of there...xx Rhonda
