john tiong chunghoo - Tanka - Dream

i heard him
laugh, smile and weep
in his dream
but take no notice
this man all awake is but the same

inspired by:

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
