Illusions of Oneself

I often wear the cloths of dream
Center stage the wile of seem
Where once again I swing and sway
And play Olympics of the day

They say one makes ones bed oneself
And lies in it all by yourself
But even though it may be true
We all must live this sky of blue

And since I cannot leave this place
I would the best of all its grace
And take to live a night of coup
And turn to day to pick the view

So what I pick is one of awe
The best of all that I adore
Grant a kingdom of my style
And dream away the best of wile

Where all that live with me are loyal
Since all are products of my soil
So fifty-fifty is the play
Reality but half my day

Forgive me friend this way of wend
You write the play, you write the end.

Wonderful morning read Sy!
And a fantastic closing couplet here.
Ready for your tea?  I'll pour.
~Morning hugs & tea, Nancy~

   but to be told I am loved ~

So right, Sy...no one should start something without realizing they will have to see it all the way through.  Some wise words here, Sir, to sip with my tea...

Thank you!

Words to remember;  lessons to live by...  They're as real as anything else out there, and quite frankly, much more pleasant.
