      What I Must ‘Believe’!

(inspired by the words and example
    of Ms. Kathleen Stafford)

I simply must ‘believe’…
that somewhere in the boundless
   sweep of time
a place exists somehow,
nestled perhaps…between a sky
   of endless clouds
and a forest of velvet silence,
or along the quicksilver sands
   of some noctilucent sea...
forever rippling in the moonlight,
where all ‘gypsy’ souls and
   vagabond ‘dreamers’
come to bathe in the starry depths
of an infinite universe,
and, where it is never ‘too late’
to find one’s true ‘spirit-mate’
for a ‘dance’ of eternal love!

"where it is never ‘too late’
to find one’s true ‘spirit-mate’
for a ‘dance’ of eternal love!"

   Hope springs eternal, without which there are no dreams. Without a dream, life is tragicaly diminished... a parody of itself, even if the dream never fully materializes... the striving is what matters.

It's nice that someone still believes.

you use your images to describe such art....just breathing it all in...

Life is a balance

Perhaps I lack belief... but hope still lurks somewhere inside me. *S*

Beautiful write!

..."'dreamers’
come to bathe in the starry depths"

dreampoet, your writing of those starry depths in which you bathe, are infinitely bewitching.

Dance on! Write on!

My spirit will rise

In the infinite universe of spirit, all things are possible that grace the heart in expression of joy...anagrams: ear to art! or tear to hear...our choice.

I like the joy in yours!  ~ K
