Above circles of the waiting game
a misty haze doth dwell
in residence and comfortable
till midnight strikes the bell

Cleared of sight distorted here
from within my energy
meets and matches like with like
in perfect harmony.  

In the ether of the all there is
love calls and beckons me
to open doors again, again,
and keep them open, please.  

But back I turn into the game
my voice lost in the crowd
as back to back we move apart
my body slumped, head bowed.

Circles deeper, wider, large,
dust in my eyes I’m blind,
No paradise this waiting game,
twelve chimes before midnight!

Helen

This was a different kind of fairy tale,
and perhaps more realistic.  I really liked this becuase those dreams we dream rarely ever come true.  A frog is just a frog,   unless we get lucky!  

Simply marvelous Helen~

It is nice though
sometimes to see
isn't it?

Hi, Bluesy. Oh, by no manner of means can I believe that dreams don't come true.  I will concede though that maybe not this lifetime and that I do most reluctantly.  I am the ever hopeful!

Hello Icebox, Well, yes, of course it is good to "see" - the hard part is holding on to what we see when swimming against the tide.  Thanks for reading!
