If Fantasy Can Become Reality

I sit in autumn sun smiling
as I listen to the wind rustling
dry leaves, scattering them
in playful dance this day

My heart feels the need
to weave words forming
pictures and visions of
love before my eyes

Today I read words of love
written by one of great talent
to one whose heart has touched
him blurring his vision

My heart softens in the reading
and I feel the need within
a heart alone to weave just a
small fantasy for me

Dreaming that someday
someone will feel such love
for me that vision is blurred
but not the true feelings of heart

My gaze turns upward to heavens
lit by golden sun and I convince
myself that the tears falling from lashes
are from sunlight shining strong

So escape I must into my world
of fantasy where I can believe
in honest hearts where he waits strong
and willing to come with open heart

Weaving, weaving as the mist flows
around me drying eyes that I may see
the face of a man known only in dreams
I weave at night to soothe my spirit

My dreams kept safe lit by a candle
of hope stored deep within that
wind of this world will not blow
extinguishing all hope of love

Which land shall I fly to
that I may be there when
he calls out to me to join
with him forever and eternity

Shall it be the land of magic
where elves and fairies dance
and play in a place where hearts
are pure and none hurts another

Or mayhap on an ocean beach
where the gulls will cry a warning
that he who I await is coming
finally to me to embrace

Will I walk the forest path
searching among the green
towering trees for one whose heart
has still the desire to sing

Oh how sad that none of these fit
for me this day as I have
let words weave their magic
flowing in to heart and spirit

I must wait to see if words filled
with such love and beauty
will ever be written for
a fantasy dreamer like me

Wrapping myself in hope
and visions I feel the warmth
of the sun and listen to the wind
to see If Fantasy Can Become Reality

fantasy and reality
when they become one in two
are the true experiance of life
there is no right or wrong
only being fulfilled
finding oneself through the experiance of the other

Make  reality your  fantasy  because fantasy never becomes real....nicely written

"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart.
It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul."
(J.Garland)

I believe that fantasy and reality are closely interwoven and our fantasy's can make our realities even more enjoyable as we come face to face and lips to lips with the person of our dreams...fantasy can bring reality to life and reality is fantaay coming into life...fantasy is thoughts and reality is action...take some action..James

I adore this poem, every bit of it and this part in particular
"My dreams kept safe lit by a candle
of hope stored deep within that
wind of this world will not blow
extinguishing all hope of love"

Sigh . . . I sure hope dreams can become reality.  Lovely work, Karen.  I really enjoyed this one.

If fantasies become reality
I think the general populace would be better off if they were yours rather than mine.

Good write

Karen, this is probably the most beautiful poem I have seen by you, and I think all your poetry is beautiful. But this is a stunner. I sure hope your fantasy can become a reality. For that is the best and most ultimate of fantasy...when it comes true. I love this piece a great deal. Excuse me now while I go for a re-read.

If Fantasy could become reality...MY but the
thoughts that go through all our minds from
time to time...Imagine how it would be if
we could have every wished fantasy be real.

Lady...your words are stunning.  My eyes
rest soothed from the touch of them.  My
mind wishes you that they may be a reality
for you...For you are so deserving of this
one joy of life.
