My thoughts chase mirages,
providing my reality with so much pain
And though they are thirsty, I let them go on,
hoping, eventually, they will perish

Dave,
do they ever or do they only fade to resurface when life takes a turn for the worse.
Sad and yet comforting write. (((Heart hugs)))

Dave darling boy Oh WOW when YOU write you really write, this is utterly utterly fabulous.

That’s the best thing with mirages you know that are just images that aren’t really truth. YOU darling boy are a fabulous writer, even if you do make me cry on occasion. I forgive you Come here darling boy for a quick kiss

*grin* made me think of how I keep thinking dreams come true...so I just keep writing and chasing them in my heart....as you say they do give hope...I guess that is why I don't give up on them. **big hugs** Thank you....

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

I know what you mean, if we don't look
it might go away.  But don't we
always have one eye open just in case?

Loved your expression GenXer~~

Dave,

  I don't think they ever perish.  They just fade away and come back to haunt another day.  I like this.. and I can relate.

Hugs,
Tara

I hope this helps, Dave...

I figured that at least you could have a really nice mirage to look at.
Nice little poem!
