Anticipation

If the moment we’ve dreamed
about ever came along
and we faced the yield that had
aroused us overlong
would we recognize it for what it was
or would our projection
have shaped it into a form more fair
that brings a suspension
of consent to the treasure offered
us and call our illusion
to perforce come out of the shadows
and heal the confusion?

Sometimes the fantasies we weave indeed take on a form all their own ... there is much to ponder within these lines Melissa ... very nicely done!

Best wishes,

Only if I won the lottery, which is not a dream really but a fantasy. I would not know what to do, but gibber. So It wouldn't do me any good. Funny thing about dreams. I woke up one day and realized, I was awake. So I didn't question it anymore. Bliss is easily attained for some.

Loved these podering lines.

Sincerely,
Regina

Melissa this poem is a great expression of anticipation!.........

               "that brings a suspension
                of consent to the treasure offered
                us and call our illusion
                to perforce come out of the shadows
                and heal the confusion?"

I love the wording of the above verse!!
