Cards folded they lie inert on display their story untold from then to today and a useless, discarded, foray into life wasted, I bet, in the soon afterlife. The winning hand yours; I’m not appalled, ordained we are winners or losers of all. No go-between, seer, or gentle soothsayer, enlightens a fool to an experienced player. Deal again and again, oh, mysterious friend, the phantom of dreams walks on to the end this time to the wall no one passes through to uncover and discover a different view. Like sugar to bears temptations fine lair draws in and deceives the innocent, fair, until the call made, “wake up to today” folds into the pack long lost yesterdays. The loser the soul, the winner our pride, and the phantom of dreams destined to die struggles for breath in mind’s unholy mess like spider webs turned into human distress. But deal again life to the dead as before and remember this time … no wake up call! Helen |

Thank you passing shadows, Rick and icebox, for so kindly reading and commenting. I'm beginning to think that I'm deaf because sometimes I don't hear what's being said ... by anybody let alone myself. |

Helen...If you don't hear, you certainly see....or you absorb wisdom through osmosis. Your thoughts always touch me. |
