Elusive Reality and it strikes her again directly in her core, and pragmatically, she recognizes the veracity of the day so the desires of the eve before remain as elusive as a butterfly or a dust mote in the light of the sun’s stream through the morning the truth weighs heavy on her mind, the flicker of hope, elusive, fluttering there within her heart, it’s struggle to live to see another night after what will occur this day as reality, so easily pinning her down instead of her grasping the dream heavy, heavy this sensation of the lost this elusive reality Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ |

Sunshine..... Reality always comes along and shakes one out of their dreams.......but still there is a 'flicker of hope'.......dream on.........  Follow your dream! |

As they say...sometimes "Reality Sucks"...but if you believe in your dreams then reality can become that of what you dream of so often. May not happen overnight but it can happen. After all, wasn't it a dream one time for some little boy to fly or another to walk on the moon? Wonderful write my friend. Hold on to whatever your dream my be. |

Karilea, loud applause and lots of noise Love this rhyme It's about time We flew, We the few With our dreams Forget the schemes Hold the hope As tight as a rope That holds the heart And the soul not apart Karilea it's true That if not for you Marsha's dream could die When your work makes me fly Karilea, this is amazing. (And I know my rhyme isn't that good but, I just had to leave you a little something) Oh and I love it. Take care Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Mark, thank you. When I go to sleep, I look forward to what I might see, and I do thank each and every day for what it brings... Kit, thanks for validating that others out there can relate...that means much... Marsha, your poem is wonderful, and adds yet another dimension for us that would travel to the stars...thank you so very much...{~,^} Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ |

Karilea, wow excellent poem, "instead of her grasping the dream heavy, heavy this sensation of the lost this elusive reality" "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |

Written straight from my heart, Karilea, the flicker of hope, the reality that tries so hard to take away the dreams. Perfect, beautiful, and so very true. Sandra |

Karilea~ Where hope has flickered a candle once burned brightly - The trick is finding the match to light it once again ... Hope flickers in the eternal internal light ! Beautiful write. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
