Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth’s superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —
— Emily Dickinson

My Foolish Dream
In the distance of time hear the sound
Of those who believe they have found
The light in the dark through the beat of a heart
And the vision of freedom to come
We live in a time of despair
Where the cries of the people lie bare
Generations have passed, heard the slogans enmasse
So when will we be free at last?
While the strain of new voices spread far
Drowning light from a delicate star
But I hold in my heart a dream that I guard
It’s secrets sung by the caged dove
There’s a beautiful sound that I hear
It’s the sound of true freedom for we
And it whispers to me,
“Take my hand and you’ll see
That the dream lives for all who believe”
Let your tears wash away all the fears
Mother nature proved over the years
That for those who turn their back will never know they lack
The song of true freedom I hear
My only foolish dream
An innocent dream

“Sir, I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool, But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet.”
— Samuel Taylor Coleridge
