Diamonds Never Lose Their Sparkle

Falling to dreams
I saved a tear,
it’s sparkle not lost
in a plunge to it’s end;
a world of my inner-soul awakened,
a fantasy,
a view as I would have life be,
in a perfect world –
but only inside of me.

Diamonds never loose their sparkle,
nor my heart the rhythm of the love it gives –
perfect love,
in a perfect world,
my inner-soul awakened,
by you.

I steal the leaves from fall-red trees
knowing spring will bring them back,
turn each one into a heart,
and lay a path for you to walk – to me . . .
a fantasy,
a world of my inner-soul awakened,
a perfect world –
where you
love me,
true only . . . inside of me.

Inside of us all is the capacity for the perfect fantasy to form and fill the hours of alone with pictures of love. You write them with such splendid color.

James, our fantasies help us to get through
the trying times of life.
I think they are a good thing.

Such powerful medicine is mixed in the fantasy world...where we give birth to dreams and then live them.
All blessings. TD
