“Dive for Dreams”
Dive for dreams
or a slogan may topple you
(trees are their roots
and wind is wind)
Trust your heart if the seas catch fire
(and live by love
though the stars walk backward)
Honour the past
but welcome the future (and dance your death
away at this wedding)
Never mind a world
with its villains or heroes
(for God likes girls
and tomorrow and the earth)
I want to frame this poem by E.E. Cummings to display above my bed. I can’t decide if I want to download his 95 poems book on my iPad or buy the actual hardback to marvel in.
