Threshold of My Dreams
By Paul Wilson

Doorway too my heart
a passage thru time
Reflection in the mirror
I no longer can find

Stars whisper your name
soft and gentle each night
Visions and memories of you
just out of sight

Dreams of long ago return to me
from another time and place
Memories of you fill my mind
and heart…I could never replace

Storm clouds gather in the distance
lightning… lights up the night sky
a coolness fills the air
dreams… like leaves of autumn begin to die

Another day is dawning bringing new hopes
and dreams…how I wish they would last
We share another moment in time
re-living dreams and memories from our past

I’ve been to that place
where all dreams dwell
That secret place we never reveal
a place of love, demons, heaven and hell

What does life have in store for me
will I ever know the reason of it all
Who can I confide in
special moments in time I recall

I ‘m a wanderer searching
for my existence it seems
Standing here on the

“Threshold of My Dreams”

Love the ending/title to this Paul.

"That secret place we never reveal
a place of love, demons, heaven and hell"

Life itself is a rarity.  The shortage of it what gives perspective to all the fleeting dreams we've touched within it.  They will glow again my friend.

Nicely done Paul......a lot thoughts come back
to us all, filled with the wonder of our life's choices/decisions....I guess as long as we continue to die we'll be faced the end results we are not able to change.

Good work.

Michael & Ethome...Thank both of you for taking the time to read and reply, I appreciate your kind words very much.
seems like both of your replies touch on my recent loss and maybe ya'll are right with your assumption but if you look at the copy right date in was written two months before the passing of my daughter. After reading your replies and reading the poem again I also think that it refers to her and just maybe she was the inspiration of this poem. even though at the time there was no clue of her having cancer.She touched my life in so many ways. I can't explain it but since her birth we shared a special bond and connection with each other, Thanks for reading and replying...Paul

Paul, I have tried to get in touch with you by email, but when I send a reply to you it seems that you do not get it. I don't know what is getting on but I wanted to read your lyrics but when you send me an email there are no attachments and when I send you a reply it seems as if you do not get it. Maybe you can work something out somehow. Eric

Paul, I just did a bunch of work on four of your songs and they all came back mail failure...
Send you songs to me at ...

I don't care who the heck sees my email I'll just delete what I don't want....please don't go through this complicated protection system here....I know it's needed and I understand why, but it just takes a flash of a second to delete what I don't want....when you send them do it through your own email not through this system...

I just wasted a ton of time!

However, some of your stuff is really good.
I'm only working with you and no one else, sorry but I'm frustrated!!

If someone uses an email link from a person's post to send them an email, the words are sent to them via PiP...and the receiver cannot just use the regular reply button for it to go back to the original sender.  It will try to go back to Pip and that part of PiP is not set up to receive email.  

At the bottom of the email that you received though, if it came through PiP, there will be a link to the email listed on file with PiP from the user who sent it.   That is where any responses should be sent.

If the linked email doesn't work, that means more than likely that the email listed in the profile of the user who sent the first email via PiP is no longer valid.  That could be the reason for the failure, also.  

Either one, just hitting the reply button instead of using the listed link, or the listed link from the original sender's profile no longer being valid could be cause for the email errors you are receiving.

Thank you Michael, you have been good through all of this I just don't understand it completely but you just cleared it up with that last post. I appreciate the help.

Sorry for all "youse's" problems (and thank you for making me aware of something I didn't know), but wanted to step in and say - - - Loved this piece Paul - surprised I hadn't already remarked on it.

Glad I got this chance to rectify that!
