Notes About The Poem

Image result for falcon flying

Lost Dreams

I must find all my lost dreams and hold them,
        or live a caged bird; 
I must gather all that is lost-  each gem,
each big dream that over the years has blurred.
     Within they still exist,
oh now I am, as deep-   as an ocean;
    and dreams will untwist,
only then, can I fly high like a falcon.
