The Gift

Really loved this one... truly spoke to me...

thank you graciously beautiful Dragonfly I deeply appreciate you 💕 have a beautiful day today...

Definitely see us traveling that same wavelength but per usual you have found a way to express far more elegantly than I.

thank you graciously dearest poet but I don't think mine more elegant we each of us have unique voice and I love your style 💕

Nice self-reflective work.

thank you graciously deaest poet 💕

This is a captivating and introspective poem, exploring the conflict between reality and fantasy, wisdom and dreaming. The juxtaposition of seeking sanctuary in make-believe while also desiring wisdom creates a thought-provoking tension throughout the poem.
The lines questioning whether it is wisdom to dream and whether it is folly to bend reality to suit oneself delve into deep philosophical inquiries about the nature of perception and the value of imagination. The struggle between the mind's rebuke and the heart's desire for what feels real adds emotional depth to the poem.
The longing for a reprieve from the brutal truth and the preference for fantasies over stark reality are relatable sentiments. The acknowledgement that visions of fate twist according to the heart's desires further highlights the complex interplay between our inner desires and the external world.
The closing lines, with the mention of blurred visions and perceiving oneself differently, convey a sense of self-acceptance and the transformative power of the soul's gifts. The poem beautifully captures the internal journey of grappling with conflicting emotions and finding solace in the alteration of one's perception.
Overall, this poem offers a profound exploration of the human experience, inviting readers to reflect on the delicate balance between truth and imagination, and the ways in which our inner worlds shape our perceptions of reality.
Well done on creating such a thought-provoking and introspective piece of poetry. Keep up the excellent work!

I love this, Brenda

thank you graciously beautiful Her 💕

I find myself retreating to fantasy more & more when reality gets too heavy for me. I can relate to this one so well. The line that sticks to me...

But I wonder what is?

Truly...I hear myself repeating that frequently.  Beautiful poem, Brenda

hello beautiful Willow thank you graciously I'm with you sister let's dream 💕

I definitely relate to this poem!!

Reminds me of this part of I believe Anne Frank?
How she liked to envison herself of the good times or wishes that helped her keep marching.

I believe for some it is strength, our ability to envision a fantasy, and sometimes blesses us to manifest!

thank you beautiful Chocolate for the thoughtful comment... I deeply appreciate it I like the thought of keep on marching while dreaming 💕

a stunning poem. i'm reminded of the lyrics of a supertramp song.....you're nothing but a dreamer, but can you put your hands in your head, oh no....

your thoughts        your writing      very impressive.

hello dearest Dragon thank you graciously I take that as a great compliment 💕

"I answer with a reprieve
fickle honesty give me peace
my fantasies are preferred
to stark reality"
I think at one point or another we strive to live in that fantasy and escape the harshness of reality, even if it's for a while.
Nice work
