Reverie

© 2007 Nina Camic All rights reserved.


Were there a place where dreams were real
   And wish need not be spoken
But merely willed, and thus fulfilled:
   No dreamer's spirit broken.

Were there that place for all to find
   In nightly sleep, or waking,
Not guilt nor shame nor hurt nor blame,
   But misspent time's remaking.

Were there a place where reverie,
   Reality beguiling,
Could past erase and in its place
   Leave hearts to reconciling.

A place to find . . . Bread ends torn apart and thrown out onto the snow cover . . . Starlings and a sparrow find a place . . .
