Analysis of Dreams
Gypsie-Ami Offenbacher-Ferris 1958 (Illinois)
Dreams do manifest into reality
the test is in the waiting
the passage of time
patience
Waves caress the glistening sides
of the white sailing ship
her name a beloved acronym
a gift
Behind lies land and what used to be
ahead lives adventures to be found
hand and hand and arm in arm is life
profound
