 PUSH to play "SAILING MIDI" while reading ~* Sailing The Sea Of My Imagination *~ If you find I’m missing You know where I will be Sailing along in my imagination Caressed by an azure blue sea. A gentle breeze fans my hair, Sunlight tans my face. I’m not one to sip mint juleps, Or sit tatting things of lace. My friends now are so scattered Or marked with a crumbling stone. The day will come we meet once more, And never again will I be alone. It won’t be long before I’m there This reality will be gone, So for now I’m content to daydream With no plans, I drift along. I sail along a sea of memories, So grateful for each day break. I hit choppy waves of loneliness, But know laughter's in its wake. So if you catch me missing, You know where I will be … Sailing the sea of my imagination Where memories wash comfort over me. Art: Danny Hahlbolm Music: Sailing The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it. Sharon  [This message has been edited by Mysteria (02-15-2003 03:52 PM).] |

a very apt conceit, the vastness and depth of memory and imagination are perfectly suited to your analogy. -majnu |

Imagination is a really nice place... you can learn a lot about yourself just by doing some sailing inside your head. Nice work, Mysteria. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

I've made a resolution to read eeryone's poems, but I am only replying to the ones I like, and am only voting for the ones I really like. But I like being mysterious and not telling, so you'll have to guess.... I am living proof that ghosts exist. Which is an oximoron but I don't care ;) |

Thanks a ton everyone (that rhymes) and yes, a button for music and some pictures would be absolutely awesome, just awesome! It could be like those children's books where you push a button of your choice, what a great idea  |

I think that this is a poem that many a poet can relate as I believe most of us have spent many a time on that illustrious sea of our imagination. A very cleaver a dreamy write that definitely gets a vote from me. -Bob |

Love you all for those comments just now, and sailing along in my imagination has saved me more times than I can even remember. I think sometimes our imagination was given to us as a coping mechanism. Thank you friends so much. |

I like the concept of this -- to fall all right, but to by golly get up; to have the troubles and know there are secret reserves to handle them..... Well conceived and beautifully written. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Wouldn't it be lovely if we could hear that very compatible musical background while reading this wonderful poem in the book! Your imagination is certainly a vibrant and infectious part of your talent. I found myself sailing on that sea with you and it was certainly a soothing experience. Its deceptive simplicity and gentle imagery gives the poem great power to bring readers into the environment of your imagination to the enhancement of their own. The English poet, Keats, expressed it better: "I affirm...that Poetry, that the imagination, generally speaking, delights in power, in strong excitement, as well as in truth, in good, in right, whereas pure reason and the moral sense approve only of the true and good." -in letter to George and Georgina Keats (Feb-May 1819).
