I tilt at windmills on Quixote's quest melancholy blue pills of sanity will rest finding the burden daring the dream escaping the warden silently scream misreading intentions missing the mark denying detentions seeing through dark driving reality through a heart with a stake claiming a promise that you later can break tilting at windmills running full bore reaching the cliff edge and then falling o'er "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Wow, Well written little poem about those deceptive windmills of the mind. But then again, one person's reality is different from another's. But this person is in distress. I'm sure Sancho will come to the rescue. Liz |

Tilting at windmills isn't so bad, but it would be easier, Don Quixote, if you got off your ass and got a horse, instead. |

LJ, I did get off my ass which is why I fell over. fool, thank you for the comment. I like the idea too. I'm a big windmill tilter or a cow tipper whatever works.
