Without a Dream |

Without a Dream I did not dream a dream or plight It was a dark and weary night My day was chores and shopping stores And separating mine from yours I sat me down my comfy chair And turned the TV on the air Pushed the buttons one by one But there was none my interest won Got a book and tried to read But even that did go to seed I’d missed my flight of fantasy My evening cup of ecstasy I shifted things from space to space And put each object in its place But could not find a place for me My boat stood doldrums in the sea Oh weary me, oh dreamless me I surely miss my fantasy |

ah yes Seymour, sometimes we miss the fantasy so much that anything else just doesn't compare. Loved seeing your thoughts here this morning. |

I don't have much to say except I felt this deeply and saved it to my library. Sometimes, you leave me just with this feeling of having caught a glimpse of your heart. Alison |

Happy Father's Day Sy, and I see the gift today was from you to all of us. What a lovely comment that was indeed, and so very true. No other can share pieces of the heart as you. |

when the fantasy is gone...what remains? For you it seems poetry remains even without the fantastic. a good commitee can decimate communication. |

Oh, I love this. Without dreams, what would we have to look forward to. I have alot of dreams. But, so far, none have come true. A dreamer never stops dreaming. I'm still dreaming of my Prince Charming! |

When one works hard on the search, they forget to look behind them. I think your is as near as your next breath, m'friend. |

"Oh weary me, oh dreamless me I surely miss my fantasy" Could you possibly know how wonderful it is to read you again? Oh happy I, oh wondrous sigh ... I've truly missed my cup of Sy. Best wishes and big hugs for my morning read, /Kit |
