Do you live to dream
Never feeling life’s fullness
Is this what you want
To waste the time you have here
Missing all that life offers

Sometimes this is exactly how I feel. You are a wonderful writer.

Thank you very much Chris, this is exactly what I am trying to avoid feeling like, but sometimes it’s hard. :)
-
Well it is a timely reminder for me – I look forward to reading your next work. :)

Thank you so much Chris, I hope that I don’t disappoint. :)

You never have.

Ahh, this really hits me hard. I’m guilty of this too often, I think. I’m certainly a chronic daydreamer.

There is nothing wrong with daydreaming, I do it myself, but not to the point that I miss the joy in what surrounds me in the moment. Thank you very much my friend. :)
Quite poignant and appropriate. For me, anyways. :)
Wow. You write a LOT of poetry – all good. Do you ever wake up with a perfectly formed verse in your head and then, come morning, most of it is gone? I think I should start sleeping with a pen & notepad under my pillow… :/

Very often I get the perfect verse in my head and by morning it is completely gone. I thought about keeping a pen and paper on my nightstand, but I’m sure if I sat up to write I would wake my wife up. That would not be good for her or me. :)
Ouch! A painful reminder, but beautifully written. :)

Thank you Jen, I appreciate that. I have fallen into this trap many times in my life. :)

But … It’s normal sometimes. You do the best you can, but don’t beat yourself up too much.
-
Absolutely, I couldn’t agree more. :)
