Blog Post #7: Langston Hughes

Dreams

Hold on to dreams
For if you let go
Life is a puzzle with one missing piece
That can never be completed.

Hold on to dreams
For when they are gone
Life is clock
That's unable to tick.


I chose to use the metaphor of a puzzle with one missing piece because without that one piece the puzzle would never be 100% complete. This makes me think about what life would be like without dreams. Without dreams, life wouldn't be complete. Dreams and having goals to work towards are part of what makes life worth living. I chose to use the metaphor of a clock because life can be thought of as a clock, and without having dreams or things to work towards, that clock stops ticking and life becomes sedentary.
