To sail in the sweet stream of creative bliss and painless dreams
of sanity and healthy days, slow nights of languid moonbeams.
If I could hold that moment, where nothing hurts, where the next day
promises to be even brighter, even kinder but in the very same way,
I’d call you on the telephone to jump into your jet-plane, fly on down to play.
Wasted minutes tie us up, prisoners of inertia’s knots, “ Don’t act! Don’t move!
Stay where you are, don’t learn, don’t grow, find some excuse to not improve.
Don’t take a chance, don’t trust your instincts crying out, why that’s insane…
If I could send that invitation against my fears, then you could ride that plane,
and finally make the leap of life, that comes but once and changes everything.
My limiting condition, like a root bound plant, keeps me focused in one place.
I’ve learned to harness inner freedom, with waves of sunlight on my face.
You know we grow with each goodbye with each hello that comes and goes,
If we don’t resist, say yes, to that open door that swings ahead, who knows?
We could be counting stars in an indigo night, hands held tight, entangling toes.
To dream inside creative bliss, to twist and mold the old, we fabricate the new.
We’ve always been sorcerers, who make something from nothing and watch it come true.
Old hands at the wheel of digital life in a time when this age rebirths itself to be
a time when people will put greed before art and even art becomes an NFT.
Hop on a plane, or take a train, the time for real is really here; I hope that you agree.

Oh, my goodness, my dearest Karima, this is superb. You took me with you in that world of yours filled with brilliance.
To dream inside creative bliss, to twist and mold the old, we fabricate the new.
Sending love and plenty of hugs hon.
Have a beautiful Sunday.
xoxo

Oh, you hit a sore spot there, Karima.
“a time when people will put greed before art and even art becomes an NFT”
It’s a thing, and I have been mourning my lost innocence since I first heard of it. But how good to see you and those who matter will always treasure the reality behind the make-belief.
Ugh, sorry, your poetry always brings out the cryptic wording in me. Love your poem! Love you 🙂

Thank you Kaushal..and am so glad you did like this one. We are living in such changing times…and I sometimes observe amazed and sometimes saddened…that the wonderful passes away as well as the unwanted. I have been a digital learner for 14 years and I have learned a lot about virtual worlds..now this Neo Virtual wave that is sweeping the planet..does not appeal to me…time to go back to the old really real reality…whatever that will even be in a few years…:) My muse took a trip on that idea:):) Thank you once again for your appreciation of my poetry! 🌹🙏❤️

You’re very welcome, my friend Karima…Honestly, I sense lines when I read writings…it’s like words flow towards me & I reflect from there…idk if it makes any sense…but this is what I do…automatically…but this requires magical lines that create this free flow of energy…I don’t need to know a person to really know a person…you are an amazing writer & a being…your writings are truly magical…I’m sure, I’m not the only one with this meaning…You must know that I’m honoured & humbled that you’re enjoying my book…no words can express how grateful I am…I’m blessed🙏
