I Dream

EdwardJBradleySr

leesah:

Wonderfully expressed message of spirituality.

Feelings of hope triumphing over disappointment and physical limitations.

Happy trails,

Ed Bradley.

Yeah. The rhythm is fluent and the sentiments, if a little "oh poor me" perhaps, are well conveyed.

A lot of poetry seems to consist of similar musings on the troubles of self (and as in your case here the triumphs over such troubles) or alternatively on the pleasures of self (check the other poetry on-site). I wonder why. I really do. There's a whole world out there to write about.

Please note most reviewers are much softer than me! Don't be scared off - I'm the ogre of Booksie.

Welcome. It's fun here, really.

This poem is what I think of as active Zen. Beautiful.

I've been reading your poetry and frankly it's very hard to think of what you can say to somebody who's writing about having a serious illness without souding patronising or idiotic. So: I like your poetry.

A really beautiful peace! I especially like the line "I can hurdle each trial, each pain,
each sad thought" If only this was not just a dream and we all had the ability to hurdle our pains and sadness. Well done.

Dreams are so important in life. This is wonderful.

Adelaide Lawrence

that was amazing. I loved the carefree nature of your dreams and the longing way that you described something so simple as laughing. I think this will teach people not to take anything for granted, and I loved this poem. I'm sorry about your health.

Being that this poem was written in Feb., I hope things are going better for you:) This is a beautiful poem. I am sure you are not alone in dreams such as these when one finds themselves in a certain situation. Never give up on your dreams...it keeps you young, it keeps you going! It reminds me of a qoute from a piece I once wrote..."If no one dared to try to reach beyond their limits, there would be no accomplished goals. If no one dared to make a wish, to dream of what could be or have faith to believe, there would be no miracles."
Take care:)

leesah, a beautiful, moving, hopeful poem...I think it is so brave that you can write about your self, and to share all your inner feelings. From my heart I wish you the best of health and prayers. Take care of yourself, God bless, Rospi/Maria.

Leesah like terry i also found this poem very uplifting, When life gets you down there are always our dreams to fall back on to restore our faith.
Lovely work!

Many people find writing as a way of releasing their feelings because they may have no one to talk to or simply because they just don't want to burden other people with their problems,I do this a lot as it helps so much,Feel free to release your thoughts and feelings with us, it's all about unloading your worries and stresses, and clearly you need to as you're going through a lot.This was beautiful Leesah and I really hope you're feeling better.Keep up the great work.

Where has this gem been hiding!? Beautiful, lovely imagery and a powerful sentiment. Makes you want to re-visit your friendships and bonds to people and what they mean to you.

lOVED IT. I really admired how you portrayed your feelings to be so free and in a sense of feeling good. Well done, sometime i find it a bit difficult to write my happy feelings rather than my sad feelings it's easier to write about. Well done xxx, your work is truely inspirational.

I love the energy in this poem, it gives hope to me as a reader that there is hope in this life. To defeat mortal boundaries, you describe it pretty well. Your rock!
