There is a place beyond hope,
where all the unfilled dreams lie.
Its the place where you hide
all the heartbreaks, all the tears,
of broken promises,
of unrealized ambitions,
of lost love.
Far enough away.
Just out of sight.
But near enough to touch.
You know, just in case.
Right there.
Beyond hope.

I don't think you'll ever be beyond hope....Too nice a person and a lovely poet.......You'll always have hope right in front of you wishing you would catch up to it.
This is a great write Paula......those helpless feelings expressed very well.
My dad told me all about you.

Paula darling heart this is as always superb writing from you. very clever of you to spin your dream net of rainbows you know exactly how to capture thought this is truly awesome. This is spectacular writing. The type of writing that takes you into the very heart of it and holds you captured and spell bound until the last word. Writing such as this is too fine, too rare to be tossed aside carelessly, or read too quickly in haste. Writing such as this must be allowed to sink into the soul of the reader and settle like a mantle over the spirit.

You impart wisdom, sharpen the senses and giving the soul such wonder, such thoughts, that they inspire, and stir that place within. Hope always lives darling heart I know you know that, this I take it is you playing the devil’s advocate. As always your writing sings in me. And I hear a response always. This is wonderful writing utterly utterly wonderful I love it utterly utterly. Can you tell I’m pleased to see you? MMMmmmm I am


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

  
  

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

And a place well known, great write Paula!

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.  ~Arthur Miller
