The Bait Ahead of Me

                                 Allow myself to drift into my mind`s eye
                         Where dreams come and go every now and then
                       If all my dreams came true..what a dreadful thought
                                I would have everything I ever wanted
                       ..and every horrifying nightmare would be for real!

                                All ambitions would be dead and gone
                                       In my dreams I have it all
                       I`m doing so much better with the bait ahead of me
                                        Still running to catch it..
                       ...and every bloody nightmare is still under control

    As long as there is the dream, as long as there is something to reach for, then perhaps the struggle was worthwhile. Nice to read this Arild; how are you? Love, Lizzie

    ‡ I Love The Powerful I May Say Ending, Sweet Precious Arild, As Also I Do Your Heartfelt Verse Through And Through. Believing Long Now That All Of Us Are At The Hands Of Mercy Itself ? Not One Life Is Immune Unto The Darkest In Tides ? It Keeps Myself Humble Wherein This Matters Most And Away From Judgments Or Condemnations. Believing That 'Love' Be The Ultimate Blade Which Carves This Age In Time! Drive On, My Dear Priceless Friend. Great Poe. 'Happy Holidays.' Love Always, Rachel *
