possess nothing

a dream, maybe...

In concert we touch

defying distance

denying time its place

 

Like a symphony

defies the cry of

the world in distress

we find the harmonies

of thought;

of deepened desire

tangibly near.

 

A thought met

matched and enabled

by recipient

 

As time can possess

nothing

as we meet,

the dream

fades

[paddy d daly]

dreamy, the meeting of minds in dreams and music combined, it's a nice concept and well put down in words, a nice read.

[Demii]

This is powerful and its really deeply writtern, and nicely formatted, I really like the flow of it , its nice.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

The verse plays like musical notes...
the way you use the words: concert....symphony...and harmonies...
yet the description gets the reader...
you give us --- if a dream an escape...
even for a little while...
the narrative exist for a moment...

[Lydia Shutter]

The dream is better than the reality? The dream fades when reality hits, but sometimes reality is pretty darned good too. A very interesting write, Barbara. Your poetry is always unique....which makes it a pleasure to read. Lydi**
