Sonnet - Vi (O Gentle Heart, Hold Fast To All Thy Dreams) Poem by Valerie Dohren

Sonnet - Vi (O Gentle Heart, Hold Fast To All Thy Dreams)

Rating: 4.9


O gentle heart, hold fast to all thy dreams
Mind them ever safe within thy keeping
For love may never render what it deems
Nor save the fragile breast from ever weeping.
Forever may thy fantasies remain
To sweet enchant and charm thy soulful heart -
Whenever all is lost they yet sustain
With joy, with hope, with love to thus impart.
O drift along illusions' misty way
Reality's dark face to thence deny
Within the realms of heaven thus to stay
That never shall thy heart be wont to cry.
….. Relinquish not thy dreams for earthly prize
….. Lest thy reward be set in downcast eyes

Nice one Val, I guess dreams help us all at some time , even though many turn out to be just fantasies and illusions.
