A Dream’s Continuation…. Ah companion mine, soul-scarred friend, from what depths you have penned your emotions and tears, your sorrows and fears, believe me, I do comprehend. Would that I have a wand in hand would that I were yours to command, would that I end all your fears, would that I could dry your tears a wave of the wand her memory to ban. Take a breath, breathe slow and deep and travel into tranquil Morpheus’ sleep, so that I may inhabit your dreams to warm you in sunlight bright, to guide you with moonbeam light. Now in this dream your future appears see you as the gallant man, a man of cheer, now hold this hand, forever yours, and take this heart, thus assured that from a dream I will appear… to be your reality, your dream, sincere…. 27 June 2000 ©Karilea Rilling Jungel Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

I thought for a minute I was reading something written by Billy Shakespeare's sister. "Would that I have a wand in hand would that I were yours to command would that I end all your fears would that I could dry your tears a wave of the wand her memory to ban." Very nicely done Sunshine I enjoyed every word! |

A really nice, artistic work. Confused on one thing however....would that I could dry your tears a wave of the wand (HER) memory to ban..... Now in this dream your future appears see you as the gallant (MAN), a(MAN) of cheer,... At first I thought the subject was a she.. < !signature--> Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely".

Oh dear friend of mine, you offer words of peace to me As from your words emerge much needed rest, to this restless eye Tranquility, I gain from pure heart of yours, a calm sea On this pinnacle of confused emotions hitherto stand I. A guardian angel from within my dreams, Amazingly pleasant, so calm as it seems, My scarred heart for repair belongs to you, In another life, I promise to be in view. Sacred words from you, help calm this soul, Can I ever repay the debt to I owe to you, All this life, the next ones too, my goal, Will be to offer sincere regards to you, true. Karilea, I am forever indebted... Thank You. Sudhir. |

Ah Prometheus...you cannot always tell a book by its' cover...if I were to tell you to read it as if a woman were speaking to a man who had been jilted...does that help? and Thank you for your kind comments... Sudhir...what can I say. Your comment here is hauntingly lovely, take it, expound on it, post it, for it is another masterpiece that you have created...every woman will think it is for her... Terry, thank you. You will find that here in Passions, we all lead each other on to better pieces, daily...[sometimes hourly, if you're not careful!] A belated WELCOME to Passions!

Now in this dream your future appears see you as the gallant man, a man of cheer, now hold this hand, forever yours, and take this heart, thus assured that from a dream I will appear… These were fabulous lines written for a dear friend. Great writing, Sunshine. So uplifting and sincere. LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |
