I Choose Dreams

Missing image

Precious innocence determining choices,
confusion from the inner parental voices.
Disassociation works from realities of pain,
not knowing through the door what it will contain.

God-given choices innocent child dreams,
two doors to choose from, so it seems.
Hesitation brings realities, insecurities,
yet inviting this child's curiosities.

Whimsical freedoms with faith in child,
walking in choosing dreams pleasantly filed.
Anticipation of dreams from harsh reality past,
choosing door of dreams in Heaven shall last.

I wrote upon the picture for I could so relate to this little girl looking at dreams or realities with two doors to choose from. My life had been a living hell really for a long time and I think I would still choose dreams....LOL

    Wise-Wonderful-Profound...



    A philosophical poetic majestic, whose emotions were poemized in a heart that pumps wisdom; and poetized with a wording dictated by a wise Soul... "I Choose Dreams" has paid its dues to the treasure of Poetry.

    Much gratitude to the author "I Choose Dreams" for sharing this poetic bouquet.

    In respect and admiration,

    Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

    At times dreams are all we have. o the best I can wish is that they are kind and soothing for in life we suffer and are held in the hands of fate. Once someone said... 'Be kind and gentle to yourself'. I am still learning. A thoughful write filled with love.

    I would chose dreams too. Our dreams are what gets us through reality. They give us hope even if they may not come true, it gives us something to aspire towards. Congrats on your gold trophy. You have been hoodwinked because someone cared.

    I loved this poem
    It offers the choice of which door a child shall take
    To me, maybe I am wrong but the choices were of good and evil

    thank you and best wishes

    Lovely poem, if only dreams could be reality. Just passing by your page and so sorry about your son. I lost my son, but he is still alive somewhere. Life can be tough and it makes you ask why this should be. One day we will understand, God be with you

    Dreams

    As a cild we often dream of such beautifull places and stare at many doors. Those choices we make frame our futures and the heart still always sings a lovely song from the heavens.

    nice work here

    you have quite a way with words... this is a great idea, and a well executed piece. A couple of rough spots were: "the door one does gain" is pretty forced. what about something about not knowing what behind each door might contain... or attain, ... or remain? "pleasantly filed"? also seems a bit forced. If I didn't reallly like this, I would just say well-done, but I think it has potential to be really good. just a suggestion - you made me think - Kevin

    First of all, thank you for following my simple contest rules - much appreciated.

    Secondly, what an enthralling picture! On a personal note, I would likely chose dreams as well.

    This poem is soft and ethereal in its gently rhyming format. Lovely...

    Thank you for sharing your entry & good luck in the contest

    This is an absolutely gorgeous poem, my friend. This is a decision that we all have to make, I believe, and too many people have decided to embrace their dreams, without keeping some kind of root in reality, which, alas, is required. They prefer to chase dreams of laziness, apathy, drugs, and alcohol; self-actualizing dreams, rather than the good old dream of "trying to change the world"

    Thank you for this beautiful, thought provoking poem. Congratulations on the gold trophy, and good luck in the BotY contest.

    God bless,
    Zach

    Thank You!!

    Thank You for Your entry: I Choose Dreams
    This piece tugged hard at Spirit and while I was reading, several times for some reason my eyes swelled~
    I was seeing children of Darfur and it felt as if Angels descended to escort those across to their final resting place but also working to feverishly help those not give up on their Dreams...which is to find food for their families, help feed those incapacitated, help those in need stay alive because there was nobody else physically strong enough to endure the walk for miles to gather water and supplies from the convoy...seeing a seven year old~
    All I see now in addition are bloated bellies~ floating in impure waters, undrinkable where it once helped raise crops
    I am seeing word: Humanitarian
    like You have a Heart of Gold I am getting~
    also hearing: You Believe and shall Achieve
    Love the rhyme~
    Powerful images You have brought forth

    These lines grabbed and pulled~
    Whimsical freedoms with faith in child,
    walking in choosing dreams pleasantly filed..
    Magnificent take on the prompt~

    Thank You for sharing Your Heart also Spirit!
    Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
    **Judging will be done shortly...
    Many blessings too
    and much love~ Desire~*~~*~

    I enjoy pieces written about children or from a child's perspective. We have so much we can learn (or relearn) from a child's innocence. Love the piece and the clear messages. Let's all choice to dream, pursue those dreams and let the be attached to the vine that they may last into eternity.

    This is my kind of poem! I feel like this all the time; that I'm bound to a life of reality when all I really want is something extrordinary. Wow, you inspired me! Thanks! This was amazing!
