The frozen field passes by An eerie blue under the half-moon The stars shine bright Sparkling diamonds, dreams in the sky The gentle hum of the road below Reminding me of my bounds The darkness looks so empty Like what I feel inside Only dreams break the emptiness Impossible dreams A lonesome journey Surrounded by friends I look out the window And catch my own eye I am on the inside looking out And on the outside looking in |

That's quite a reflection. I like this piece a great deal. Particularly the dream references. I am a dreamer...and that's not a bad thing to be. Hold tight your dreams too...sometimes dreams really do come true. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

I like this, Jason. A very well written poem of how loneliness feels. "A lonesome journey Surrounded by friends I look out the window And catch my own eye I am on the inside looking out And on the outside looking in" |

I'm with Tracey on this one : ) Everyone experiences lonliness at some point in their life, but keep on dreaming and better days will come! |

"A dream is a wish your heart makes....." Oops, sorry Jason. I have been known to break into song when something in a poem reminds me of one.....gee, this is so good. Great imagery and terrific ending. ~hugs, Nancy~ ~Life may not be the song you requested, |
