Fences I gaze about the landscape of my mind and see open spaces letting my thoughts wander unhindered across hills of dreams and valleys of emotions without fences or posted warnings… the only fence remaining is the one upon which I sit. Robert if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |

I loved the metaphor, being a nature lover I could sense the freedom in this and the openness. Thank you for sharing this. "Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell." Joan Crawford |

Thanks Irish and nakd. My mom always said that if a person sits on the fence long enough (a position of undecidedness) they will sooner or later fall off and maybe on the wrong side! Robert if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |

RobertB~ Your Grandmother was a smart lady. This is really a 'thinker' poem ... Good show. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Beautifully done!!! Vivid! Must one get off the fence? Wouldn't one, then, mar the scenery, fill it with footprints of choices made, doubted, remade? But then, how does anything happen without change? You've written a thought-provoking piece, you see. |
