Somewhere halfway between here and there
lies a realm I habitually wander within,
a habitat wherein dreams and fantasies
liberate my mind and soul
from the mudflats and sinkholes of earth.
It’s not the Elysian Fields,
nor is it any Valhalla
or Shantineketan,
but a dynamic living fluid of blue,
a cyber world of words,
a myriad of thoughts and emotions
which massage me lovingly
with healing salves
of friendship and understanding.
It is a place I go to
when morning’s light doesn’t shine,
or when the midnight moon hides in the dark,
unable to keep the soul’s spark alive
within this too-fragile heart.
Passionate people parade there,
presenting perfumed poetic parcels
for this pauper’s perusal.
Casting aside all worries and fear,
I dwell in this realm
halfway between here and there,
seeking and finding
great Peace.

Namaste
Peace
Shalom

Thank You
for being You

So seems this is a sorry lot!

Just so you know I'm not sorry to see either of you.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

LOL, Larry, for all the missing poets I decided to edit and repost this in Open just now. Hope your year is going well! Your daily presence here is missed, my friend.
