whispered dreams.

By jodeanna

 She only spoke
 of her dreams
when she was
alone.  

She cupped her
 hands together 
and whispered
 them inside.

  Then she pulled
her hands away
 and opened them to
blow the wish up high.

  She could only 
hope that they
reached the stars
she had in mind.  

Guess she was afraid 
that someone would
find them if she
 wrote them down..
