High Hopes

Before we implode or reach cluster one What do you want from me, as you humans dry run We are Poles apart in what you and I do Marooned you will be, if you don't turn to be true I am only but a sphere, but your wearing the inside out Our futures lost for words as we enter life's drought There is time for dialogue to take it back Will it be a great day for freedom, or will we enter our black Around the table of powers we have to keep talking We had high hopes when we stooped, we may cease to stop walking It beggars belief that we are heading into strife Maybe one day we'll acknowledge, that were coming back to life http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/music-3.php

we live in a scary and high pressure world, James. You think of these things and it's commendable. I don't even know how to put my thoughts about it all into words. WEll, have a nice new week coming up. Time for me to get off here at last. LUv, Andrea

Going back through oldies Andrea, and this poem was written using the track titles from 'Pink Floyd's' album, the 'Division Bell' xx

Are we even listening, James? Even with nature speaking, urging us, we seem to be walking blindly. Awesome! Love, Audrey

I think you have established a voice in these poems, the ghost in you is pranking out, and this is what good poetry is about.

This sounds like a relationship that has found two people further apart after a period of time. It happens so often, James. Hope you're not feeling down now, my friend. Love, Carolyn
