Dreams ~ Langston Hughes

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.

Langston Hughes
1902-1967

Peace ~ Langston Hughes

Peace
We passed their graves:
The dead men there,
Winners or losers,
Did not care.
In the dark
They could not see
Who had gained
The victory.

Final Curve ~ Langston Hughes (1902- 1967)

Final Curve
When you turn the corner
And you run into yourself
Then you know that you have turned
All the corners that are left
