The Dream Jar

I kept all my dreams 

In a sugar jar. 

It had a silver top, 

With a tiny black lock. 

I kept it in the dark, 

And my dreams grew brighter. 

I kept it in the light, 

And  my dreams grew like flowers. 

And I never opened my jar. 

But what I didn't know, 

Was that my jar was airtight. 

So my dreams never escaped. 

Never took a breath. 

Never lived. 

And so my dreams died.

And because they never lived,

Neither did I.
