"Dreams": The Writers' Spotlight

Sahana Ramalingam shares a lifting poem about dreams as "images of hope" and what they symbolize.

Dreams

Images of hope,
Locked up fear you share,
Love and desire,
All in your head somewhere.

Dreams are wishes
That lets your imagination grow
They let you travel
Anywhere you can go.

Dreams show your happiest moments,
And what you dread in your heart.
They show you, love, how to hold it,
And tell you where to start.

You could feel the beach,
The sand at your feet,
The heart and soul you'll be able to reach.

Words and images swirl in your mind
That lets you express yourself all time.

And when horrors are received,
And I fall on my knees,
Everything is softened by the memories, the dreams.
