Make - Believe

A character born from the words on the page Absorbed into me, words released from their cage Once spoken from the voice, the one that rings true The connection is made, imagination shines through Embrace the character you see, in your mind’s eye Develop and make your own, as the weeks pass by Taking centre stage, as one, but with parts of many Character ghosts of my past, all wanting to be free Therapeutic, full of glee, relief from conscious me The real is submerged to make way for make- believe

This is cool, amazing when you think that before we created these characters they never existed. We breath life into them and send them out into the world.

Shaz, I loved this poem. I'm not pushing my poetry, but this eerily reminded me of one I wrote some time ago. Check "Waiting In The Wings." I appreciate your commenting on my work. .... Jake

Personalizing life is what makes our potential a reality - make believe to make real - good rythem Shaz - I like the message that we are responsible for extending, or creating life through the instrument of our imaginations - J.A.B. %
