Dream

100% agreed here Lisa … sometimes I wonder if reality is our escape from the TRUE reality. If you have ever worked with altered states of consciousness in a big way … you start to wonder if what we think is real really is.

YESSS!! Lisa – we so agree. Responding to imagination – paint outside the lines.
Drives me crazy that people will wear the same suit and tie every day.
Lisa – - in a black and white photo – you would stand out in color!!

One more thing – - When dancers would be waltzing…you and I would be sharing a tango!!

Helium balloons trapped in a ribcage of fear…this is what your concept made me want to type. Random, I know.

Wonderful imagery .. fantastic …..

Here is one of hundreds of quotes I wrote some time ago which I think fits here Lisa…love this!

“Inevitability takes time yet time is inevitable. Perception clouds reality just as reality clouds perception.
All that is, is so, if only by partiality to preconceived notion and of suppositional adherence to apparent and inconspicuous inclination.
That we do not know that which we do not know are we therefore limited and thus relegated to live by possibility alone.”

when dream becomes reality and reality becomes dreams and vice versa

To stop dreaming is to stop living.

Staggeringly beautiful writing Lisa,my lave passage is ‘Exercise the unreality
Cease to exist in refuge’ ,brillantly expressed..What is real or unreal and yes our reality and everyday life is a Menagerie…...

There is no escape from reality, but reality is elusive when you try to grasp it. Maybe the truth is in the gaps between dream and reality.

Favourit not lave * lol just got out of bed

...reality is a necessary diversion ; ) lovely words as always

Lisa, that’s stunning…i could pick almost every line as my favourite…

Wonderful Lisa – if we spent more time on our dreams, thought about what could be instead of what is… our lives would be richer for it.

I sit here in awe of each and every one of you, each comment resonates deeply.

Wow, a thank you just does not seem to be adequate…..please accept a smile and warm felt embrace…

You all rock….XOXOXOXOX

Ohhh do you really forget to dream…I live for my dreams…they may just be pipedreams but there is always a feeling of reality to them…

Beautiful words Lisa…you have excelled…Hugggs xoxox

Hey…do not adjust your screen – there is a problem with reality!! :)))

Lovely Lisa Lionheart… truer words were never written. I use to be proud to think that I lived outside that cage and yet now I find it binds me so constrictively that sometimes I almost cant breathe. These words are a slap in the face for me, delivered by a beautiful and loving hand.

I love you.

exceptional…..so much insight and creative. i did a painting with this in mind titled “Outside The Box”. I will put this up as a homage to you and your poem.

Here, here! Awesome. I want it. Open the doors for us all Lisa and let’s play. Thank you for the reminder. xxxxx

so true, reality only stops us dreaming.

Dreams..Fantasy or reality…......maybe a mixture…......Thank you for reminding….

Rocky, Metamorphois, Suzanne, Bella, Arnold, Baft, MoonShadowWolf, Pagly2 – thank you kindly for your comments…..

I really am overwhelmed by the response to this poem…..

Heres to kicking reality up the butt and dreaming a dream…..

Oops and of course the beautiful Arcangelina,XOXOX

I don’t think we forget to dream…as much as we forget to remember
what we have dreamed. ;) And those that cannot forget reality..
I think, are the ones that think they don’t dream. I dream in technicolour!
And I live in a world where reality clashes with the bizarre and surreal.
Great poem!

Alright…can’t find the right words…you are incredible…def FAV!!!!!!! xoxooxox

he way I choose to live every moment. Perfect. xox

I absolutely concur!!!

Dream to live and live to dream… ;-)

In writing as well we escape reality and there is no need for practicality… In a dream we can be anything, do anything, think of anything…

Reality is only what we comprehend, and therefore a partial truth. In fact, it is a lie, for truth cannot be parcelled out if it is to remain truth. To dream is to allow our imaginations to fill in the voids, if not bringing us closer to truth than at least allowing us the comfort of a healthy balance by choosing lies that are thoughtful and entertaining.

Wow! I hadn’t seen this one…I say reality is our cage good strong powerful write, excellent!

I am not sure you need a saving grace at all… you simply are grace…

nice i likes this fa sure
i’m glad i came across your lovely piece
i will continue to dream
AND DO SO BIG!!!

Well.. I am so with Mark.. the first to respond.. you are in my skin woman!! I am just waiting for you to guide me to MORE.. I love the set up and that you are allowing people like me to see your work like this.. it is like a TEASER.. tee hee. and I love to be teased.. Hugging you!

” I say reality is our cage”

You go girl! x

Hear hear! That damn reality buggers up so much potential Lisa. Nothing beats chasing rainbows as long as you’re happy to keep chasing and don’t go all sooky when you never get there. Dreams are what it’s all about really :-)

hear, hear! xox

powerful words, awesome piece of writing

Stunning poem LisaG…your imagery dances through my imagination. An absolute beauty.

i love this, it has everything, the weeping feet and picking flowers out of the sky.. beautiful imagery, wonderful poem..

I agree Lisa. Absolutely! Reality is all a dream, what we see and feel is imagination manifest physical. We are not only subject to our own but that of others. To imagine a better, a brighter reality (dream) is our subconscious (and conscious) taking control, with proper focus, for the better. As our friend Poe questioned so eloquently: “Is all we and seem but a dream within a dream?”

Fly the red flag..dare the bull head on…...Yes.. live it…..great writing Lisa

Do you say reality is your refuge? .....no, reality is my anchor, it pulls me down….dreaming is my reality
XX

as far as I know…I feel we do that everytime we read each other’s poems. That’s how I feel when I read your words. xx

Indeed…learn to color outside of the lines.

Super inspiring write Lisa!!!
Dreams become our reality through art and writing!!
love this piece
x

ahhhhh ur thoughts … what a beautiful mind you have lisa…. i think reality is what we make of it so its both depending on the person :) damn why do i have to be so pragmatic … i just want to be an optimist like you :)

“Reality is our cage”.....and sometimes finding the door of that cage has obstacles.. The urge that this creates to just be unrestrained in the full potential of the positive possible is uplifting for me this morning….anything could happen today me thinks….watch out day here I come: : >) XXXX

LOL. :D

All I can say is right the fuck on. cheers, this one kills. excellent! Kristin

One of the best I have read of yours, possibly because I myself relate to the reality/cage thing, but you got some killer lines in here….run amuck in thunderstorms, kick stones til your feet weep…. (I will never spell it amok ever again)

I think Reality is a very convenient term because it keeps so many tame. But I’m sure what we experience is only the tip of the iceberg.

WOW. This should be my mantra every single day. Bravo on a most outstanding write!!!

Damn I missed another one!! (sorry)
I say…........fly the coop….......sing and dance in the rain and don’t just hold your dreams, live them with as much gusto as possible…......
I also say…....... I love the feelings derived from your words, you gorgeous thing xxxx

Lisa, you always make me want to sing in the rain…..where would we be without dreams and imagination. I love this beautiful piece. xxxx

:)
you know my state of dreamer, well. Reality is for the…well…not for the birds, really, they are too beautiful…reality is for the white coats and tie-men. fuck reality and all that damn concrete. I will plant sky flowers with you anydamnday, darling. :)
my head has always been in the clouds. wuite literally really! I have been chastized many times for being a (said like it’s a dirty word) dreamer.
I’d be no other way. :0
thanks, Lisa, for this. xo
