Classic and Contemporary Poetry
PREMONITION, by KAY WELLS
First Line: Here is the dust of long dead dreams
Last Line: I question -- for your sake.
First Line: Here is the dust of long dead dreams
Last Line: I question -- for your sake.
Here is the dust of long dead dreams . . .
Come sift it through your fingers;
Out of tall castles in the air
Only vague memory lingers.
What if some fierce, stray wind should blow?
What if a storm should break?
Might not this dust take form again . . .
I question -- for your sake.
