Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow. 

~ Dreams | Langston Hughes

this just might work..

I have crossed an ocean
I have lost my tongue
from the root of the old
one
a new one has sprung

~ Epilogue | Grace Nichols (Guyana)
