Escaping From Reality.

Goldfinch60



Sometimes in this life you try to escape,

Escape from reality, into a better imaginary world,

And an imaginary life,

A place where problems cease to exist.

Your life goes on so smoothly,

Everything comes to you without effort,

Every question answered without thought.

This is not real; it is an illusion!

In reality you need to play the cards

That life has dealt to you;

Sometimes in life you win,

Sometimes in life you lose.

But always remember,

That win or lose,

You are still in the game.

    yes this is the real thing - we are apt to forget sometimes. Nice one Andy.

    • Goldfinch60

      Yes Michael it really is, we may have a few years behind us but the game is still there in front of us to enjoy.

      Well written, I am often guilty of this too!

      • Goldfinch60

        I think we may all be guilty of this at times.

          Vital points raised here Andy - the game of life is always there for us with no escape from reality. Thanks for your wise words dear friend.

              Thanks UNCLE ANDY : Angela here : A great meditation for SUNDAY ! Brian & I love PHANTOM : a very salutary modern PARABLE on the foibles of LIFE & LOVE. Over that past fifteen years Brian & I have tasted the AGONY & ECSTASY of Life & Love and accepted them equally as part of the process of *Growing up and Maturing* Both being Scientists we have never sought to escape into Fantasy : BUT we havent been on HONEYMOON yet ! We got close on our tour of S ISALAND (NZ) and wished we could have stayed in Milford Sound for ever. Thanks for caring & sharing CARPE DIEM !

              Blessings & Peace & Love to YOU & JOYCE
              Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

                Andy,

                Spot on with your poem!
                I enjoyed the read and am thankful to be reminded that it’s better to be in the game than not! You sum it up best with the last three lines...

                “But always remember,
                That win or lose,
                You are still in the game.”

                Joie de vivre!

                My love to Joyce and to you!

                ~Laura~

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you for your kind words Laura, much appreciated.

                  Andy
