Parkmont Poetry Festival

“Dreams fall from the moon...
La caida de suenos de la luna. Weaving through the stars...
Tejer por las estrellas. Lightly floating down and touching the earth...
Levemente flotar abjo y tocar la tierra. Futures unfolding before our eyes...
Los futuros que despliegan antes de nuestros ojos. Nothing like it seems...
Nada quieren parece. Everything changes, everything grows...
Los cambios del todo, el Todo crece. And still our dreams fall from the moon...
Y todavia nuestros suenos caen do la luna.”

Maddie Collins
