Chaos – it’s chaos this side of the world when the devil and heaven lay bets on a dream and gleefully watch the turn, turn about, from real to unreal perceptions of life. A lover in feel; oh, heaven help me, but the devil now harkened by sleep breaks and shatters a mind’s solid base with the hammer and chisel of faces. The dearly departed, a child from the past, and one known to be there but unseen, bit players in this act of a dream designed to implode a brain. And after the sink of what everyone thinks there arises the smoke of confusion too thick and heavy to cut up and dice into the pot of neglect. No meaning, it seems, to the deal of unreal that tosses and turns a restless dreamer back into the human senses so limited yet understandable after the dust has settled! Helen / 19 February 2007 |

"when the devil and heaven lay bets on a dream and gleefully watch the turn, turn about, from real to unreal perceptions of life. " We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and the rulers of darkness! Great poem. Really got a feel for it. Well written. Thank you! The greatest thing you can do for another is not just to share your own riches...but to reveal to him his own. |

what a neat write, and what a great line: "And after the sink of what everyone thinks there arises the smoke of confusion too thick and heavy to cut up and dice into the pot of neglect" excellent... |
