HOLD FAST TO DREAMS

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams 

For when dreams go 

Life is a barren field 

Frozen with snow.  

This American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright and columnist was one of the earliest poets to experiment with jazz poetry.
