© Written by Loreta C. Bande A lifetime of dreams to journey on
Many a seaway of crosscurrents
Or traverse a forest where perils beacon
Yet willing to risk all to nameless predicaments.

The way twists and turns with vigor spent
Passion to pursue paling, thinning off
Equinoxes and solstices came and went
The dreams rest a while to brew stronger puff.

The stars behind the clouds still there
Sparkling willfully all its cosmic care
Sending a muse to goad a rise
No matter how hard, to fight anew is enough prize.
