One More Chance


A hellish nightmare or heaven’s dream A Poets choice the virgin’s scream Prison waits all hope recalled With heart despondent if I dream small Freedom’s sleep my one repast All shadows banished new questions asked Where fortune trades the moment clean For one more chance at sight unseen — To live renewed in heaven’s dream — (Dreamsleep: June, 2026)
