I dreamed that I was given gifts--
two earrings and a necklace with
royal purple stones in them
sparkling with a star within...

I felt uneasy, lacking worth:
"Perhaps you'd meant this gift for her?"
But no, the lovely trinity
was made especially for me.

I donned the necklace,
locked the clasp,
I picked it up
to look. I gasped.

For there within the purple stone,
was Camelot, without the throne!
JFK and Jackie too,
were there in all their fortitude.

I watched him take the oath, decreed--
one hand up (naivete?)
swearing his allegience
with dignity unmatched, but then

the man I married mocked my dream--
he grabbed an earring, out of greed.
"You have two--so one's for me!"
but even in the depths of sleep

I felt some thing depart from me.

I did not holler. I did protest
using my most very best
voice of do not fuss with me:
"You will give that back to me -

if you like your ear."

I realize that dreams are code
for all that's sacred we behold,
and so it was when I awoke,
I pondered on the meaning deep.

"JFK" was good and youth.
(It does not matter if that's true.)
It's what he represented, dreamed,
and what I felt was robbed from me

by the man who'd sworn an oath
"'till death we part" and I do quote
implicit possibilities...
as well as incongruity

of death, survival, cliche' creed?

I woke myself up from my dream
and pondered on the differences
of what is "want" and what is "need"
and what is common sense--I think

I need some objectivity;
and stamped approval:

"You may breathe."

I woke up, feeling spent.

ty, Garan, and wince? I think that this, like me, needs a little more direction.

nod

I'll keep it on my notepad though, for future reference.

(I wasn't thrilled with my repetitions)

but maybe that was the point of the dream?

*laughing*

thanks lovie, for taking the trip with me

You know, I am left in knots with this one, thinking maybe I myself should try to awake once and awhile.

Indeed, they are. I've been having a few lately,
myself, that seem to portend more than I care
to know
simply because I'm caught between a rock and
a very hard place
and to share them, as they have followed me, may cause
more upset than just leaving them be.

Very poignant write, little one, at least, for me.

Beautiful poem, Karen. It saddened me so much that I had to come in a second time before I could reply. You deserve so much more, out of life - but then, you create so much beauty and value for yourself, your children, your friends and all of us, in the poetry that you paint, and the thoughts that you weave, and the person that you are.

I just realized I'd forgotten to say a proper thank you.

I was going to rework this, but I don't know...

But I did want to express my gratitude for the encouragement!

And oh my Owl, I'll try to drop you an e mail, too. You are so consistently kind to me, and seem to always understand me so well. I appreciate that, and you, very much.

Thanks to all, with my love and appreciation.
