A dream within a dream within With no beginning and with no end Where does it start This world apart That we live while we sleep Is it real The things we feel This other life we keep Could they be These worlds we see Only images to our mind Or is it true For me and you Another life entwined A world within a world within The veil of reality dreamily thin Where one lies down to take its end The other seeks a life within |

Most deVine One: That my words make one think is the highest praise, and it is magnified ten fold coming from you. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed. One Voice: I've enjoyed many of your's in turn and I thank you for using the term "artwork." You are most kind. Balladeer: I can not thank you enough for your kind responses. I consider you to be one of the most talented within these poetic halls, and that you have consistantly left your mark upon my postings is great encouragement to this rookie. (PS, I'm glad you liked the Bal series. It was fun while it lasted.) Poohbear: My pleasure to do so. Thanks for stopping by... I'll try to keep the honey jars filled. I'm headed for vacation, so I'll be out all next week. I fear what I'll miss in that time. Thanks again, one and all. [This message has been edited by Andrew Scott (edited 08-13-99).] |

I particularly liked the first and 4th stanza, Andrew. Actually, I think they could stand alone as a seperate piece. This is very thought provoking and delves into a realm of curiosity which makes me feel alive! Thanks for sharing. Nice job. |

This is terrific - I can't even choose a verse that I like best - except perhaps the finale.... Nice work, my friend.... ------------------ Nay, if our wits run the Wild-Goose chase, I am done: For thou hast more of the Wild-Goose in one of thy wits, Than I am sure I have in my whole five. ~ ²1592 Wm. Shakespeare ~ Romeo & Juliet ~ ii. iv. 75 |

doreen Peri: Thank you so very much. In a way I wrote the first and fourth stanzas as one and then I seperated them with two and three to accentuate the point of not knowing where dreams and reality leave off from one another. Thanks for noticing. Nan: Your praise is a coin I value most dearly. That you enjoyed my offering makes it all the more special to me. Thank you. |
