Soar

High above the clouds A destiny is waiting Stars are in her eyes Dreams are illusions we create for ourselves that seldom have a chance of ever coming true. Still, we dream - Anonymous

Nice senryu. We all have stars in our eyes. Life is a dream within a dream as Poe so aptly wrote.

Stars in our eyes, sludge in our cup. Though sometimes dreams really do come true

Positive haiku, Tommy. I like the quote you added. For some dreams that seems very true. Have a great day! Bill

...density of destiny is an illusion...... an 'exist' stance may sound as ear rational.....but all that exists stands as numerically irrational.......stan

Above the clouds, the surface of earth disappears. It's very freeing to dream. I like to take time for daydreaming all the time. It's very pleasant. Do we make our own destiny? We can try, but who knows what is every going to happen in this crazy life! I've seen a few things come true and many that never did. Of those, I tried to make the best of it.

"High above the stars a destiny is waiting" They say we'll know everything instantly as a spirit in the end. I had a realization in one dream; I knew everyone and everything around me even though I didn't. "Stars are in her eyes" she is one who still dreams! Awesome work.

Flying in an airplane gives me a similar feeling. It's a realization that with so many miles on earth that there are many destinies but I chose this one. Your poem is deep and full of tangy emotion. Thank you.

Sometimes I wonder what if the thin layer between the reality & dreams fades away? Isn't it fascinating yet confusing at the same time, haha? Well, I'm one of those dreamers who doesn't want to let go off hope even after having faced that life has intended to give up on me mamy times..lol, went too deep there. But seriously, this senryu really made me feel so much!! And I really love magick & dreamlands because many times, our souls wish to escape their forever.."Stars are in her eyes" Beautiful

I love both the impacting, well worded poem and the dramatic picture, Tom. There's nothing quite like the excitement of reaching for the stars. Nicely done!
