It’s not the ghost of fantasy
lost and lonely wandering
but a season of reality
getting ready so to pounce
on the vulnerable.

I flex with the knowing
and stand naked and unveiled
in this moment’s grief
so contrary to the pose
of a woman with a dream.

Time beckons all into the fold
of waking up, it seems
for dreams are only pauper’s gold
of little worth and value
in the soon to be new order
which, of course, has always been.

I once was blind but now I see,
I once had hope but now believe
I and you and them and they
are pawns of reasoning
dangling like the dead
on strings of convenience.

So I dangle, dangle, cavort, dance,
but tip-toe around a heart
for it's right and proper, true, correct,
that heart can sever strings and ties
with the blink of loving eyes!

Helen, I've come to admire your poetry,
but even more, admire the woman behind
the poetry. Well done!

She is certainly one of my favorites in both ways, Sunshine. Hi Helen!

Helen~

You give us word-riches~

'dreams are only pauper’s gold'

Then I just reckon that makes me the wealthiest pauper around ... cause I'm just loaded with dreams~

Seymour - thanks. How sweet of you to say so.

Karilea - thank you so much. I appreciate your comment more than I can say.

Martie - Hi there, lovely lady. You two might make me blush or at least hang my head in embarrassment.

Marge - You and I both, I guess, because I'm fighting this thing called "reality". Thank you very much for the read.

Rae - Thank you! So glad you enjoyed.
