'sleep Deprived Ramblings'

Everything is not always just black and white hidden beneath what we think we know are the blurred version of what is really real and what we perceive to be real… Our hopes and dreams might not manifest in the way we envision them but somehow between what we wish and what our faith sets in motion things that are meant for us are born, birth from a tomorrow we didn't know existed Yet, It will mean the world to us, if not today maybe the next day… It's all part of living between what we thought is black and white and what is hidden beneath the tinted shades of hopes and dreams we never knew existed…

Love the entire poem, Wilma, but the first verse is extremely profound. There are many shades of gray and our perceptions are often tainted. We don't always succeed in seeing our dreams come true, but we have to pursue them. Excellent work! Love, Carolyn

Sometimes we have good dreams and sometimes bad ones. But if you have hope in you heart, you are a step ahead of most people, Wilma. This is a great poem! Best to you, Diane

Wilma....... Cool! love this side of your poetry. Very philosophical and can only be known through experience and much thought processing. People don;t usually take the time. You've done a masterful job of explaining these concepts in poetry. Into my favs and congrats on a wonderful job my friend. Love it will be reading it again

This one is very deep, Wilma. I believe there is a lot of gray in the middle of what everybody percieves to be just one way or another! And we can never know what God really has in store for us! Very interesting. LUv, Andrea
