Broken Dream
Charcoal & Pastel, 1978
Broken Dream
(for my daughter c.a.s.)

My energy surpasses my ability -  for silent chaotic intake
A still solitary blade of grass eases my mind and assists me
Realizations emote as I stand

Anxious to myself and unkind, I await evening rain
Aware of daily cycles that will not fade
Bending this blade, drops beat against my windowpane

As a morning mockingbird will attest this life as good
We wake from our dreams to hear his song
We cherish what is given to us
And feel we truly belong
