unfulfilled dreams

Breda Krošelj

Free verse
if the waves are too strong
all thoughts stay without light
and  most often the dreams
remain unfulfilled
it is difficult to move
upwards in a brisk wind
and the rain steadily
washes away the dust
from the withered leaves
and from the wounded earth
and from the bones
far below in the darkness
