Lenten Poetry: Day 26

Our Dreams

Sometimes the pages won't turn
in our book of dreams,
and we are left clinging to a life
we never lived...
just wanted to.
Stuck in the stark reality
of unlived dreams,
we sniffle and tread water,
on we go in search
of the Holy Ones
who will wipe the tears
from our eyes
and offer to us
the only dream
that lives.

--Ann Weems
