Staring at words
wishing them away
from reality.

Fantasy takes the edge
off of the chill of mourning
but does not
heat up the day
when it unwinds itself so far.

To sit and wait for the warm touch
nearly breaks the too-tempered heart.

Want is not enough.

Heed the rush of the wind
as it spins tales of what-ifs
and what could-have-beens

knowing all too well

‘twas but fantasy
perceived as reality.

But, oh

it felt so good
and I never wanted
it to end

yet
at some point on the circle

it all re-connects,

and the sense of it remains
sheltered within

even as the view
feels itself on the outside

seeking the softness

of within.

Very nicely written. We want what we need but we need what we want.

Sounds like the most safety lies within us. I think that is true. Good job!! Ken

James, Mojo, thank you!
Yes, Ken, 'the safety zone' tends to be within. Sometimes I spend too much time in that end zone. LOL

The wonder of this is its title...
for without a little fantasy,
with reality biting us as it does,
we would all lay bleeding,
nothing more than humanoids...

sometimes, I think it is fantasy,
that allows us
art.

Kacy? I watch the lines you walk,
always so very glad in my heart
that you take many paths.

Such a gypsywoman...
and one I admire very much.

Thank you, dear Nancy!

Karilea, what a heart-hug of a reply. It's so true, fantasy can be a refuge in the storm, a safe way to handle emotional short-circuits and overloads. THANK YOU, for being here.

ES, guess we all have our moments when we live more in fantasy than reality, for whatever reason. Thanks for stopping.
