Dream

You will stand tall wherever you go. with best wishes , Lenaxx

Magic - I cannot help but think by reading this...not only by the poem itself, but also by the philosophy that inspired it, that you have reached a new phase - in your life and in your writing.

You have turned a corner and faced life head-on with a determination and spirit that is enviable.

'I know now - my dream never died, only chose a new direction.'

A commendable poem in its own right, full of inspirational hope and courage.

'where fallen leaves print memories in the snow
and tree branches write messages against the sky,'

the imagery is so delicious and well crafted I was practically drooling ;-p

This poem is a compliment to your writing skill and an emphasis of your talent. To quote Tina, 'you have reached a new phase - in your life and in your writing.'

Couldn't have put it better myself.

I genuinely feel honoured and privileged to be able to read and experience the pure genius of your poetry. I think 'well done' just doesn’t quite express how I feel about this poem and how proud of yourself you should be, as a person and as a writer ;-)

Love, Nathan xox

Nathan! Your comment has made my day ;) Thank so much for such a positive and flattering comment! Ecstatic that you like this one!

This will get a cherry..but it doesn't matter!

The real fruit here, is that of life and yours glows like a beacon from the top of the tree, defying the winter winds that tried to blow you from your deserved vantage point.

There are those who will advise; 'Lower your sights', 'accept less.' Thank them for their advice and then ignore them! The world is full of people, who sit at home, filling their days with 'what ifs' and 'if only's' or 'why didn't I try that?' and 'I wish that I had....' How sad.

Another famous line of advice is; 'You must accept...' Bullshit!
The only thing you have to accept is that some day (at least in our time) we will die; everything else, is up for grabs and if you want it badly enough, go and get it!

Delighted to see this positive piece from you; it is testament to your strength of character and your will to win.

There is another old saying; 'You can't keep a good (wo)man down!' I like that one, maybe because it is true.

Good luck in the future, although I think you will rely on luck a little less than some.

Beautiful poem, therapeutic no doubt. I agree with all of the above, be proud of yourself as a person and a poet, it's Oxford's lose. This is a poem of good things to come!

Chris - don't tempt the cherry fairies ;) But thank yous so much for your inspirational words of wisdom! I'll keep them always in mind whenever things look all doom and gloom!

Beeme - definitely theraputic, but also trying to pick myself up and tell myself to just keep going! Glad you liked ;)

Hey ld! I'll admit I do sometimes miss the days of writing three poems a week but I'm so pressed for time at the moment - though this does make any poem I write now seem all the more special ;) Glad you like this one!
