Back to cheer and high-five as you round third base, my friend! My son wears a T-shirt that says "Welcome to reality, come back soon!" Had to share my family's goofy sense of humor so you know where I got mine. Or did they get it from me? Anyway, congrats for the win ~ John

My dear rhyme-time friend, I am way behind in answering your wonderful message. It is divine as we are inclined to be inspired by one another's lines! What a gift and what a gift you are! Thank you for your best and warm wishes! Your lioness inspired me to write a new poem based on The Tempest. Thank you all the time!

I really like the mirror image you present, Sam. The title is thought-provoking, and the interplay between creativity in the spiritual world, and reality in the physical world is fascinating. I am happy to see this insight from your fertile mind, for you write so beautifully of the reality around us - gardens, seasons, the wind, human interaction. I love this, and I hope it proves to be a winner for you. Harvest blessings ~ John

For such a simple form, I found it challenging. Wrote several options when suddenly the idea of the ways creativity and reality play off of each other emerged - the ying - yang, the spiritual and the physical. So glad you liked this and, as always, your perceptions have a profound depth! Thank you my friend. You inspire me! Blessings.
