Do You Own Your Dreams Poem by Patti Masterman

Do you own your dreams-
And the things you find there;
Do you own the oceans,
Do you own the air?

Might as well own a phantom-
Or a mermaid's hair.

Do you own your wishes,
The secrets that you crave;
Do you own a reverie,
In sleeps cavernous caves?

For nothing can you capture-
Nothing can you save.

When you go to pick your dreams up
At the time you die,
The angels there will whisper,
'We sold them- for a sigh! '
