We go through lives and see all,
See all around us.
We know what is there,
What is ahead of us.
But if we look and see nothing
Thoughts come to us,
And new images are seen,
Those images of beauty and wonder.
Images that we imagine,
And that imagination can show us,
Show us things that are not there,
Bringing light into our lives
As we dream,
Dream of our life,
Our life that is not there
But is the one for which we aim,
And will one day be ours.

- Comment from author about the poem: The song by Jim Croce was recommended to me by Alan J. Reeves. I had not known of him before but I will have to look further into his works. Thank you Alan.

A fine write Gold.
Things were all there in 1066 - so was I there! Oh woe, everyone said! Did you help to collect people's reminiscences at the reunion?
Thanks Orchi.
Everyone I spoke to asked why did Orchi point into the sky.
an interesting post today my friend... I have long been fascinated by the mind and in particular by those higher cognitive functions which of course include imagining things... now ya got me thinking and true.....
N ..
As long as you are still thinking all is right with your world.
An artists eye - the artist sees colour, form, composition coupled with imagination which others completely miss. Fine write Andy.
Thank you Michael. Yes that is so true, the same can be said for writing words as well.
THANKS UNCLE ANDY ~ for caring & sharing ! The Song (we have shared many Love Songs in the past 15 months) and the Poem are very apposite to our situation at present ! WE especially love the final five lines !
As we dream
Dream of our life
Our life that is not there
But is the one for which we aim
And will one day be ours !
Our life together as Husband & Wife will begin in 2020 ~ and with everyones support (including MPS !) we will have a FAMILY and we will live happily ever after ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Peace to You & Joyce
Love BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡💙🧡💙
Than k you A and B, your dreams are starting to come true.
I don't know if life turns out the way you describe, but no complaints so far.... still an adventure here!
We have our dreams and we have our life hopefully they will combine - still going forward in my life.
I've played on this song many times (with different singers). The solo break around the middle is still a wonderful 8 bars to play. Jim Croce is no longer with us but lives on in his work ~ enjoy Andy.
Ex animo, Alan
I surely will Alan, thank you.
