Poetry

The following were brought to my attention by the best 11 year old in the world. . . Erika Aileen Blake

Fairies
Out of the dust of dreams
Fairies weave their garments
Out of the purple and rose of old memories
They make rainbow wings
No wonder we find them such marvellous things!
- Langston Hughes

I didn't write it, but isn't it lovely? It makes me want to dream happy dreams all gold tinted. . .

Dream Dust
Gather out of star-dust
Earth-dust,
Cloud-dust,
Storm-dust,
And splinters of hail,
One handful of dream-dust
Not for sale.
-Langston Hughes

Me, and only me knows my dreams, and they are some of the most precious things I own . . .
