The (possible) conclusion of a long election season comes to a close in 8 days. We live in a time of so many “What ifs?” This brief, profound poem from Samuel Taylor Coleridge invites us into hope, perhaps even bewilderment on the edge of possibility, and it all begins with dreams: |
|
What if you slept...
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
What if you slept
And what if
In your sleep
You dreamed
And what if
In your dream
You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in your hand
Ah, what then?
“What if you slept...” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Public Domain.
