         Is it ‘too late’?!
       [on lost optimism]

In a place called ‘Once Upon’.....
Time has frozen dusty dreams
sleeping in corners with
  forgotten promises
stirred only by the death-wind
past ruined runes of "lost love’s”
  wisdom
chanting all the heart’s enigmas.

SHE has come to shine
sunlight on my tattered truths
and shattered hopes
in renewal songs of soul-salvation
may I still dare to listen
to the ‘Voice’ of Spring.....
In a place called 'Once Upon'?!

The philosophy of "once Upon" is a viable destiny...preparation through the past, in anticipation of the best ever future.
So often, we hastily write the outcome in the now.
Nice flow to this one, strong and forthright.

Unce upon is the seasoning of dreams. A pinch of this a pinch of that and you sew up the seams. Enjoyed the read.

Bruce...so many live in a dream of what once was, when they could take that wisdom and use it in the present....that's what it was meant for.  In the end the sun shines from within.  Enjoyed this....gave me a chance to spout some of my own philosophy.

love's more comfortable
the second time you fall
like a friendly home
the second time you call
       ~Cahn/van Heusen

I have noticed
SHE is in caps
any lady in caps
must be deeply loved

dare to listen to the voice of spring
dare...

In the very moment when you dare to listen, you will be out of that place and launched into a wonderful NOW. Dare!

Beautifully expressed!

Love,
