The Impossible Dream?!

Sitting beneath this pavilions golden crown carved moment ~ Slowly glancing about the crowd; peering into their eyes, their hearts; considering.... Adorned amid such a pretentious cloak!? Redress this stroke, upon the canvas so brushed As if the facade could hide, this empty sepulcher inside Come not with your wilted flowers of hypocracies.... Mist like dew rising within these hollow born roots Created in the bed so extracted from this, shallow made earths Contaminated, wherein they have thrived!? Yet make anew this tilling of your spirits soil A fragrances sweet aroma for, all their senses to behold ~ Laying aside such arrogance and pride; these preludes, spoken.... Gazing upon stilled wonders embraced by a hush; refrains hopeful anticipation?! Warmths, loving eyes fixed upon this marvel; what could be The greatest moment ever written upon the pages of, history ~ Do you believe? What is one willing to give thus, in exchange? Bleed not this cup of tainted blood but an offering; such mockery.... For "Heaven" waits inside the bejeweled gates amid this, silence and awe Pondering these thoughts; a sudden twist of a fates possibilities?! A dawning, of a brand new age ~ What will it be and, what are they willing; this cloak, of many colours But only one, shall do.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ....The impossible dream!?

Oh la..in part II you seem to have left your Garden of Eden, accompanied by your Angels, of course. I find your work to be unique, for you find most of your answers hidden within the questions themselves? Maybe somewhat of an occupation therapy? This portrays your strength of character, but also shows your tender side. Best to you, John Rhinem!!! Blessings to you and yours...Mikki

it takes great strength of heart and soul to walk away from what we desire, but if we can, like you describe within this powerful poem, we are blessed with a different power

Bravo for you, John! I am so glad you did not submit to the temptation. And I do believe that out of all the people I know, you would pass this test in real life, rather than risk losing access to the "blessed and blissful shores." Excellent write, John!!!!! Very suspenseful! Love, Carolyn
