Life Real Or Dream

50 years have passed since birth Seems unbelievable Fleeting moments, moving fast Past is HAZY Mostly forgotten Only few memories remain Is this life real or IMAGINARY? Am I real? Are things actually happening? Or Are they DREAMLIKE, UNREAL? Although I am fifty Still many mysteries remain unresolved! Who am I? I can survive with artificial organs, I can breathe with artificial respiration I am surely not the body or breathe Then who am I? I want to see myself Why am I hidden from view? Morning to night, time flies Although I live, life seems TRANCELIKE Everything seems a figment of my own imagination, SURREAL I feel I am a SHADOWY figure, ETHEREAL, I will very soon disappear 29.05.2021 Contest Name : Writing Prompt - Dreamlike Sponsor : Constance La France

HI RAMA I FEEL LIKE WHAT YOU DESCRIBE OF YOURSELF SOMETIMES MY FRIEND. WHEN WE WERE HIJACKED ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO WITH A GUN TO MY HEAD AND ONE TO MY HUSBAND ELIAS, I THOUGHT IT WAS MY IMAGINATION PLAYING THIS OUT, I DIDN'T STRESS I DIDN'T CRY, I PRAYED, THEY DID US NO HARM BUT TOOK ALL OF MY OF MY JEWELRY AND SHOPPING, MY HUSBANDS BAG WITH A LOT OF MONEY AND A GUN IN IT AND WHATEVER ELSE THAT WAS LYING ON THE BACK SEAT A WONDERFUL POEM MY FRIEND, HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER.

Nice to know I am not alone. I thought I was the only one who felt life is a dream - not real. When we pray from deep within, our prayers are heard. You were really brave. God bless, Take care, Rama
