Disinter

Disinter

 

Would you have the courage to disinter dream, to let sands of time take away what has been.

 

To hold your own peace under spiritual threat and give a smile at the ending of mournful regret.

 

To see children as teachers and evil men too.  Until you know silence as silence knows you.

 

Or lay patient in mourning for a time pain will pass when a vision of future is shattered like glass.

 

To forgo the moon while you reach for the stars, to give birth to the dreams that you’d bottled in jars?
