Notes About The Poem

What some people believe is really unbelievable...I mean so far from what is rational...

Living the Dream

There are many pictures in my mind,
    From both memory and fantasy.
        Where they seldom overlap,
            Avoiding any redundancy.

Causing me at times to wonder,
    Where my thoughts and feelings end.
        As understanding what moves me,
            Seems important if not pretend.

                                             At times this search is beyond reason,
                                                 As if I'm looking for an iconic ideal.
                                                     So that this paved road turns to a dirt path
                                                         Quickly, leading to nowhere all too real.

                                             Since imagination plays a key role here,
                                                 With relative value that one can insure.
                                                     The need to believe must have some
                                                     Parallel, to reality where truth can't detour.
