I tilt at windmills
on Quixote's quest
melancholy blue pills
of sanity will rest
finding the burden
daring the dream
escaping the warden
silently scream
misreading intentions
missing the mark
denying detentions
seeing through dark
driving reality through a heart with a stake
claiming a promise that you later can break
tilting at windmills
running full bore
reaching the cliff edge
and then falling o'er

"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

Wow, Well written little poem about those deceptive windmills of the mind. But then again, one person's reality is different from another's. But this person is in distress. I'm sure Sancho will come to the rescue.

I enjoyed the write and the message and hope it's written about someone else, not you. A well done message, poetically done.

Tilting at windmills isn't so bad, but it would be easier, Don Quixote, if you got off your ass and got a horse, instead.

LJ,
I did get off my ass which is why I fell over.

fool,
thank you for the comment. I like the idea too. I'm a big windmill tilter or a cow tipper whatever works.

Balladeer Thanks
