Late at night I
think about you and I
wonder do you think about me?
Under a starry sky, I wonder what
resides beyond the
milky way?
Under a full moon, I wonder will
beams of light calm an angry sea?
When the planets align, I wonder
will we then meet face to face?
When autumn is in full bloom
will we miss a lost summer day?
I wonder, do you see castles in
the clouds, or am I the only one?
I wonder do you believe in dragons
and mystical happenings?
Late at night dreaming, I wonder
what is fantasy and reality?
I feel change is upon us,
do you feel it too?
author's note: I Wonder by Rodriguez came
to mind, I hope you enjoy the song.

Some questions arise that are so you; sweet. Yes, I have felt the shifts changes in reality for two decades--but global warming international terrorism distract me often
ReplyDeleteGlenn, I wonder about all these natural disasters. Where is it all going?
DeleteThe question whether others believe in dragons (or whatever) is one I would not want to ask another because I would be afraid they would reject whatever answer I think is true. Then the question of fantasy and reality appears should we hear the other person's answer.
ReplyDeleteGood questions, I enjoy a good conversation even when exploring the possibility of dragons. Dragons are symbolic in many cultures, so, yes I believe they are there in some form. Mystical beasts that perhaps guard gateways in dreams.
DeleteLovely and wistful - I remember these kinds of questions.
ReplyDeleteThank you and it is always good to wonder, let your imagination take flight.
DeleteDon;t wonder too far, you might get lost. Had to...lol...sure a little wonder can't hurt as what one wants to be reality can keep them going or awake at their sea.
ReplyDeleteHaha you made me laugh, I will always wonder about the mysteries in life.
DeleteSo sweet, and I love the reminder of the song by Rodriguez. I think I might put it on the update on the prompt. The thought of sitting under a starry sky to wonder...
ReplyDeleteHi Bjorn, it seems like the perfect song for the prompt. I thought of making a list of I Wonders. There is something magical about wondering under the stars. Maybe, I will wonder under a full moon.
DeleteLovely as always.
ReplyDeleteToday's realities seems unbelievable enough to be fantasy.
Have a day filled with sparkle.
Thank you Sandra, so true current events make me wonder. Wishing you well!
DeleteHopefully both still see the magic in the world.
ReplyDeleteI will always see and feel the magic in the world. It is in the simple things that we find wonder.
DeleteLate at night dreaming, I wonder
ReplyDeletewhat is fantasy and reality?
Dreamers will continue dreaming and life will still move on its own momentum!

That it will Hank and I am a dreamer believing in possibilities.
DeleteThanks for visiting!
Change is upon us, sooner than we expected it. I wonder too what lies ahead for we have waited too long to try to slow the pace of planetary stress.
ReplyDeleteSherry, I am afraid there will be more happenings and it worries me more than a little.
DeleteWonder(full) poem. I'm here to assure you, these dreams do really exist. (don't believe - know)
ReplyDeletePerhaps, dreams do exist Martin I just can't seem to find them.
DeleteWonderful changes over time, but they remain to be unanswered. Nice.:-)
ReplyDeleteSomething questions are only for pondering. Thank you for the visit.
DeleteA wonderful poem.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful comment. Thank you for visiting.
DeleteHi Truedessa - love this man's songs and his back story - I wrote about him in 2012 .. "Searching for Sugar Man" - wonderful song ... thanks for putting it up here - brought back lots of memories.
ReplyDeleteLoved this - so much happening right now in the world and here ... I wonder at it all - cheers Hilary
Hi Hilary,
DeleteHe does have an amazing story and his music speaks volumes.
I've asked a few of those myself, Truedessa. And as far as being a dreamer? You're not the only one. But you appear to be a good one! Nicely done.
ReplyDeletesmiling at the play of words...now, I am singing that song.
DeleteLove these childlike wonders like planets aligning bringing us face to face. And Rodriguez! That doc 'Searching for Sugarman' blew me away. What a story of the ages!
ReplyDeleteYes, his story is mind blowing.
DeleteThis is a very special kind of journey in words. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! Thanks for visiting
DeleteEngaging in wonderment is a marvelous pastime. I was entertained by your wondering!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you were entertained :)
DeleteYou remind us of the fact that the real question is where our fantasies take us. Fantasies can be so much, but really, there is only fantasy love made. And so it is with poems.
ReplyDeleteOur fantasies can take us anywhere.
DeleteGreat questions. Important questions. I like the wistful feel of this poem.
ReplyDeleteQuestions that open the mind to more questions, thank you for the visit.
DeleteI think much of the reality is inspired by fantasy, and vice versa. Nice pondering.
ReplyDeleteThat could be true in many ways.
DeleteI like the innocence and tenderness that shines through in your poem.

Thank you Imelda!
DeleteYou had me at full stop at the first two lines, Truedessa. I do wonder about several past loves and do they think ever about me ~ even though I am happily married to the best guy possible. I don't think you love and forget, ever. I do wonder about what lies beyond the Milky Way, and I believe there is truth somewhere in dragons. Mostly I wonder what is the meaning of it all; and if there is no meaning, does it matter? Perhaps it's enough that I got to be and wondered at the Milky Way as a river of bright stars as I lazily swung on a high swing from my grandmother's apple tree. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteFundy, These are questions we all wonder about. I see the stars as dream beads to our awakening. Somr dreams will burn bright and some will fade into the darkness of night.
DeleteEnjoy your week!
LATE to the reading, apoligies, Truedessa. Too much fun on Cape Cod for the past two weeks..never even made it to OLN. BUT -- I'm back ... and so glad to read your post here. I especially like these lines
ReplyDelete"When the planets align, I wonder
will we then meet face to face?"
On a similar vein....we have a painting called Two Faces where the heads are upside down to each other...and it got me to wondering, if this earth is round....does that mean as I'm standing here....way way way under my feet, if I dig all the way through, are my feet on top of your head? Are you standing up on exactly the other side of the earth...which would mean, to me, you would be upside down? Smiling I am. See how your questions got me to pondering? :)
This comment made me wonder! Perhaps, I am standing on my head, but what if I was actually standing on my head in yoga, would that then make me standing on my feet? I wonder...
Delete"I feel change is upon us,
ReplyDeletedo you feel it too?"
I do.
I wonder don't you...
