Penned Reality

I took the pen, set it to page
e'en though I was yet of age
seeking wisdom, yet too young
how that beginning was begun

simple simple, keep it so
how little then did I know
simple it's not, see askew
that is what simple words do

lay the line, draw the fact
then it becomes more than act
dream the thought, reality
is more becoming to you and me

dreams and reality
live in two worlds
can't have one
less the other unfurls

reality bites, so young ones say
old ones know, 'tis always been that way.



Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound.

Loved this Karilea!  Now you know if you allow me to choose, I'll pick the dream every time. Loved your thoughts in this piece!  

Best wishes,

Ah yes... and before they know it - the young ones are saying "It's always been that way"...

Karilea~

What a jewel of thought -

'dreams and reality
live in two worlds
can't have one
less the other unfurls'

"It's always been that way. . . "

I'm 33, does that mean I break the mold??

Smiles to you my friend. . .

great write Sunshine and I know what you're talking about....the connection between reality and dreams is consciousness at its best...my fav. saying is  .."reality seldom bears the possibilities of imagination."
