I'm building things, in which you don't believe. Castles in the air, floating on heart songs, that remain unsung. My hands molding statues, of me's that will not be. Sculptures of my dreams, undreamt and dismissed, in fear of your laughter. I'm building fantasies, on hopes and wishes, solidly set on sandy dune, waiting for onslaught of tide. Vision's denial to give ground, to today's battle for purchase. Fantasy's strength shall outlive, reality's blustery strike. Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.

I can relate to this extremely well. Beautiful writing, my friend! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

I just tried to edit this one and was told that editing is only allowed for 24 hours after original posting... is this a new feature? Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. JP "Everything is your own damn fault, if you are any good." E. Hemmingway |
