Hope lies in ashes.

I’m loving these alphabet poems. I like that I can see this one. It’s very visual and a little haunting.

This poem is powerful. Sometimes, we need to grind our dreams to dust because they can get blown away, where they end up somewhere. We want our dreams to end somewhere, take us to some place new and different. Very beautifully written!!
