Where Do Dreams Go To Die

Posted on December 10, 2012 by russtowne

Where do dreams go to die?
It could be an awful terrible place.
But don’t caterpillars turn into butterflies?
And drops of water become snowflakes?

Perhaps dreams are like that too
When they’re crushed and all seems lost.
Maybe they return as something new
And even better than what we’d sought.

–Russ Towne
