Most my life it would seem has been given to dreams
they tempt at each turn no matter my route
wispers of wonders which call out to me
insistent yet soft as the notes of a flute

They cause me to wander a whimsical land
a fortress of fantasy forged of thin air
its' towering heights represent what could be
in dimly lit dungeons I've wept with despair

The highs and the lows of an alternate world
so close that it lies but a few notes away
the pen in my hand draws some indescript swirls
flickering silver notes shimmer and sway

The subtle swift shadings of ev'ry sweet sound
brings dreams cascading within might be found
all that I seek yet which remains unclear
as those images speak my closed eyes are my ears

Most my life it would seem has been given to dreams
yet I take from them too what I would share with you

My goodness ... this is just beautiful~

'The highs and the lows of an alternate world

I think I may just have a 'favorite' of yours~
Thank you for sharing~

I know this feeling well...I could have never described it so vividly and eloquently though.  I think I'll just pop this into my library!  

Hugs,

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.  
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too

"insistent yet soft as the notes of a flute"

Yes, I also feel that is how dreams and poems float into and out of our lives.

What an enchanting piece of writing. You have described my dream world also, and with such charm and beauty.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Marge ,
Thank you , dear one . Every once in a while
something slips through , the fog clears , and something else is revealed . These are the moments that make writing worth-while to me .
Doc

rwood ,
Thank you , your use of the word " connect "
seems most appropriate , as this is how I try to do the very same thing .
Doc

Smitten ,
Thanks , I'm glad you liked this . Striving
to become more than what I currently am .
Doc

Midnitesun ,
Almost like gravity , the pull to create something , anything . Subtle , yet compelling . Yup . Thanks .
Doc

Coco ,
Thanks , a favorite subject . Where would we be without them ?
Doc

Tracey ,
Thank you . Trying to make them over-lap is where it gets tricky . Being a little nuts helps .
Doc
