Alternate Universe

The women sing songs to the moon,  
Praising its beauty.  
They dance and sing when it’s in its full glow,  
Their souls ascending and descending,  
Transformed into priestesses.  

The men venture into the forest at twilight every fortnight.  
There, an unveiling and a revealing take place.  
The spirits

Alternate Lives

Time appears to go in a line
From then to now
And some times it does 
But at a certain point the stream
Becomes a river
Which then spreads into a delta.

I’ve always found the metaphors
Of literal geography to be the best,
And in this life can see the threads
Of alternate lives play out
All the

Premium Memberan alternate reality

Sadly, I was never blessed with having children. About 30 years ago I dreamed that my husband (now late husband) and I had twin girls, red-haired girls (my husband had red hair). Those girls were so real to me I named them: Chetta Marlene and Judith Rae Leann. I named them after family members.

Whispers of the Unchosen Path

I wonder if I did not stay,
What paths my life would gently sway.
Would destiny unfold anew,
Or fade like whispers that I once knew?

In the realm of infinite chance,
Would joy still dance its blissful dance?
Or would regret with mournful sigh,
Embrace my heart beneath the sky?

The road untraveled tempts my mind,
With secrets hidden, left behind.
Yet, in this

ALTERNATE PATHS 11/11/ 21 
BY LYDIA BRESCIA

My eyes are leaking out the sorrow of a pain 
deep within. Letting go of a passion boldly waved 
before me like a matador teasing a bull. 

It was a Probable reality rich with satisfaction 
and Value Fulfillment trying to actualize
with Not Enough Fuel....
offering a glimpse of untold Joy

Premium MemberAlternate Universe Ferris Wheel of Life-

around
And Around
Convergence news chirality
Convenient use hue rainbow chronology carnality
Fast tracks flashbacks
New convergent reality
Hypocritical political
Around and around
Tangent stanger truth is not fiction
Again realities convictions
Fantasies detention
Why does my spirit soul are mine so hurt?
Reason I'm in a alternate universe
Here on this filthy Earth
Feel like I'm on a Ferris wheel of Life
No lie, goodbye?

The Rubix-Sphere

What if the Rubix cube was round?
Would everything lost be found?
Maybe Boris Johnson wouldn't be head,
three cheers for Mary Berry as pm instead.
Would we have ever left the EU?
Say 'bygone' to the Dover/Calais queue.

COVID may never have shown its ugly face,
and bankrupt every marketplace.
We'd greet one another with a grin and hug,
not a distant wave

Premium MemberIn the Beginning - Alternate Start To Human Life

Lift a baby from water, after decending from the cloud
An alternate way to start the world, the vision makes me proud
She could be the first earth mother, the start of all mankind
The greatest person ever lived, would need an open mind

I place her down upon the bank, there to see her grow
To take her place

The Poor and Lonely

Today someone praised a poem I wrote
It is about considering the disenfranchised
at this supposedly jolly time of year
Why, she said, just think about all in need,
why not spend Christmas with them, she asked

Amazingly enough, that is just what I do, 
For you see I am one of the poor and disabled
whose SSD checks just do

My Alternate Self

Glimpses of myself in a different time..
Recurring thoughts occupying my mind..
Visions of lush greenery landscapes
I gaze upon the deep blue sky
I caught a glimpse of myself..
My alternate self..

Unique surroundings 
Fascinating experiences..
Colors illuminating so perfectly vivid
Bright and bold
Intense and magnificent
For my eyes have never seen such vibrant colors..

Words cannot express the sweet vibrant colors..
Vibes and energies
