....The angel spoke words of truth to me, said this place was not my destiny.....Suddenly, I appeared back in time, before a house that used to be mine.....The walls were yellowed and falling down, silence and darkness was all around.....A voice in the distance spoke to me out loud, saying, 'Son leave here but, know I'm proud!'.....I walked away as the tears rained down, adrift in sadness and threatening to drown.....Then I woke up on an island out at sea, nothing around as far as I could see.....As the dawn made it's way across the sky, I could only stand there and ask, 'Why?'.....Nowhere to go and no where to escape, left with unending days of the same landscape.....[Anyone for part 3 of my poems about dreams? It's probably not as good as the other 2 but, I thought I'd post it anyway. As usual, feel free to psycho analyze, cause I'll be darned if I know why I write these poems!]

A Dream Undefined (pt3)
Hi John, I think you hear your dad's approval with the voice speaking, and your tears are for about age 9, is it the divorced family that occurs about that time? then you're marooned on the island which is you today, stalled here in this place due to your health problem.
Pretty fair, my smart friend. You hit the dad thing on button. 7'ish is where the family split apart. Yes, the island is here where I uselessly sit, spinning my wheels. You know me pretty dang well!
I was thinking the EXACT same thing.
You are awesomely smart too, my friend. And you know me nearly as well as Sue does. That fact is dear to me, my friend. I'll talk to you later when I wake up.....
My goodness that is soooo beautiful, I love it! Have a beautiful day my friend. Love, peace, light, joy & hugs for you!
Hey, A59. nice to hear from you. Thought the other 2 were better but, decided to post it anyway. Your approval and praise means everything! 500 kazillion hugs for one of my favorite people!
Well I sure hope all is well with you. Oh for goodness sake you don't need my approval! You have some talent there my friend! Okay are you ready? Here comes dump trucks of love, peace, light, joy & hugs for you! Make it shine today!
I feel your pain and confusion here. Others are suggesting much of 3 is about your parents divorce when you were 7-9. If so, 3 describes my feelings exactly when my own parents divorced. Parents divorcing devastate children, and parents need to take special care that children aren't scarred. Few parents have the skills to pull this off, so we become the walking wounded. Number 3 illustrates this very well! I like Bonnie's island interpretation. It fits.
I feel this part goes well with 1 and 2.
Good job.
Thank you. I thought it was weaker. Big fiasco going on with me right now. Wish me luck!
Not divorce, my friend the family split with me and dad on one side and mom & my two brothers on the other side. The split was permanent but, the disfunctional unit remained together for many painful years.....
Painful. My heart aches to hear you went through all this. More painful than divorce. Too bad your parents didn't care for you children better. I'm sure they did the best they could given whatever they had to deal with, but obviously it wasn't enough. Besides the three 'r's schools should teach parenting skills. Not just physically caring for children, but caring for their hearts, minds, and souls, too. How much better our world would be if this was added to our curriculum.
You are absolutely right!
Luck, and peace, love
Oh, added my comment to your other reply. How ya doing?
Actually, pretty great! Sustaining a dialogue with my son! You know how happy that makes me! Thanks for asking.
Awesome! I love to hear that! Bad day for me! That makes me feel 100% better!
Any thing I can do? I wish I could move heaven and earth!
NCAQ, can we pm for a minute?
No strike that. I have to go to bed. I desparately need sleep....Mayne tomorrow we can talk?
I'll check in in the morning, around 8, pst
I've changed my mind. part 3 is every bit good poetry as the other parts. it has events worthy of note, much sadness, ends with little action, and is firmly based in the reality of your life. I think the last 2 are the reasons it may not seem as good as the others...it's not like a hit movie with fast, hard-hitting, nonstop action or suspense for the last 15 minutes. The movies and book authors have conditioned us to expect this and we seem to think anything less is lacking.
Not what you're looking for?
