Dare to dream
I dare not
For I would wish the impossible:
To walk again unaided
To be free from pain and the morphine
To fly to sun and warmth
To make love again - not even Viagra works
To live without insulin
Dare the impossible
just for a moment
a smile

hello dear one
I tell you what I liked your honesty you did not have to share it but you did. I have been under this dark cloud I am trying to get out from under for a while . life hurts and it gets old. I am also a nurse.I see you keep going think back when things were better and find things to feel happy about now when you can. I hear you dear one in this and it was quiet a beautiful sharing of your pain and of what life is all about. God bless you and your lovely wife.

I just watched the end of the Democratic Convention and the candidate is filled with such inspiration he can make the most cynical of us dare to dream ... it put me in mind of those Kennedy days. I hope he has good Secret Service. Seems the best of them get shot down before thier dreams can really be accomplished.
I'm sorry you're in pain. I'm allergic to morphine so don't know what I'd do. Just suffer the pain I guess. I am also diabetic but no insulin ... at least not yet. Thank you for entering

Great Write
I can feel the pain in this very personal write.
Reading in one of your lines you would like to fly to the sun, becarefull you know what happend to Icurus.
Are you a diabetic? I am and doing insulin sucks four times a day. Dare the imposible why not all great men do dare the imposible to come to relize all possibilities. Great write

Oh, do dream! There you are able to do all those things! And dreams are the other reality, no less valid, and even more precious because they give back, they don't take away.
I walk unaided, and am free from physical pain, but I still wish the impossible. I strive to be happy with who I am, and where I am, and count my blessings - but I long for more, and other, things. Maybe this is the real human condition - eternally unsatisfied, always seeking the peace that exists only when the search stops.
Don't stop dreaming - your poems grow in your dreams, and grow you with them.

Great poem mate! Very sad in some ways but your spirit shines through in the last lines. Excellent writing indeed!

Interesting. Just wonder why you choose exactly those words... what were you thinking of when you wrote this poem? I really enjoyed the first part... Dare to dream
I dare not
for I would wish the impossible..." This is a wonderful start.
I even like these next lines: "To walk again unaided
to be free from pain and morphine
to fly to sun and warmth
to make love again..." Then you kind of lose me. It's as if you lose your train of thought and take another path.
And I like "Dare the impossible
just for a minute..."
though I think smile could be replaced. I don't like it there at all.
However, all in all I gotta say I do like the poem. Very interesting and has me thinking..... hum.... wonder what's on her mind.
