Truedessa's Collection |
I joust between the pages
of truth and fiction
I sing between the verses
of a troubadour's song
I write between the covers
of fantasy and desire
I dally between the chapters
of knights and dragons
I read between the lines
of mystical adventures
I dream between the settings
of imaginary places
I see between the eyes of
wisdom of sages & fools
I dance between the emotions
of love and heartbreak
I love between the poetry
of life's greatest stories

Oh, this is wonderful! Especially "I sing between the verses of a troubadour's song."
ReplyDeleteSherry - Thanks for stopping in for a visit. I do enjoy a song.
DeleteYou are a true Reader!
ReplyDeleteI think we need to be able to navigate the land outside the lines (even to find the next stanza of being)
ReplyDeleteI agree Bjorn - we need to navigate the stars as well.
DeleteYou see all the things that most people miss.
ReplyDeleteI guess I do at times, is that a blessing or a curse?
DeleteHi Truedessa - there's always an opposite isn't there; then we can look at life in so many ways ... lovely poem - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI guess there are always two sides to a story.
Delete"I read between the lines
ReplyDeleteof mystical adventures"
CCool! there's always a shimmering field between opposites, but here the entire mystical experience is food for thought.
That you Susan, I enjoyed the prompt I wasn't able to post Wednesday so I decided to share today.
DeleteI agree this was wonderful and had me entranced as I read and reread....our country is doing this joust as we speak!
ReplyDeleteha - I believe there is a bit of jousting taking place.
DeleteI wonder if dragons like to read about us humans too?
ReplyDeleteHmm, I don’t know Dez let me ponder on it.
DeleteI love this dance between what is and what we make of it... Loving in that space, in that place, has to be a life-giving riot.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is up to interpretation, I love reading between the lines.
DeleteI hope you are feeling better.
Seeing what is unseen by most sure is the way. Hopefully a gift at the end of the day.

This is a classic, True! It puts into perspective the emotional contrast so many have experienced at various times under varied circumstances

Hi Hank my morning friend. Yes, many have experienced these emotions as they are real and touch us deeply.
DeleteI really enjoyed this, Truedessa. I like the idea of jousting between the pages of truth and fiction. Sometimes it is hard to know the difference though...even in a book.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary
DeleteIn today’s world it is hard to distinguish truth. Wishing you a peaceful week filled with hope.
Love this. I'm someone who wishes they spent more time between the lines
