Images There is a thing that ought to be, also a thing that is. But in the thing that ought to be, a constant spirit lives. At any time, we care to try, the way it ought to seem, ignoring place and circumstance to see inside the dream, we’ll find this spirit shines through us in brilliant majesty, and dressed the way it ought to be just fits us to a tee. There is a thing that is and a thing that ought to be. Let's tamper with the present and alter destiny. 3/9/17

Thanks Ironic but you know sometimes things come from the heart and flow out on paper. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't/ This was not written for a contest but from an experience in life.

Hello. Oh there is so much beauty within this gem. It is poetic. The entry flows. I very much liked the formatting and layout. I read this twice as everything about this is poetry. I found this to be original. Well done
