Reality Check

Sleep is elusive this spirit night I ponder what is real? Staring at the ceiling how do I know my ceiling is not really a floor... Maybe the full moon is really purple perhaps I am color blind... As a poet words make my world real words is what my world is made of I will make it whatever I wish... Maybe I will try hard enough at breakfast to bend my spoon with pure will shift my reality... The nature of reality is hidden After all I have only five senses Maybe six all i know since I have found love I am not who I was before And never will be...

Ken This is a sweet and sentimental write. Love can do crazy things to us. Nice job describing the roller coaster ride of love.

wow... I don't know about you.. But, this kind of reminds me about your "Dream of Brahma" poem.. how dreaming may be the point of view of the dreamer and the one in the dream. Okay, off the subject. I don't think you need a reality check.. How about going with the flow.. and listen to the wake up call from your heart... xox~ Linda
