Lost in Contemplation


picture by Jozefm



What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

-Langston Hughes


(a poem we read in English Literature today that i liked for some reason)

Well Langston Hughes is amazing. I've never heard that one before though and it is lovely.
