beyond the screens ~ a poem ------------------------ Movies playing on the big screen, car’s out back. Your jacket remains sitting on the coat rack, Laughter flitting through the air, Such a blessing…to have someone else’s care. Maybe meant for just the screen, How I yearn for days like these. For moments whispered in heartfelt dreams, But life is far more complicated it seems. Dancing under dazzling lights, Gowns flutter, music strikes. Staring up into eyes that are not my own. Gazing into things I’ll never get to know, A moment of peace and tranquility. Not possible in this world’s hostility, How is the world for those with creativity? Authors, poets, those with ability? Maybe their words are fleeting dreams, Messages hidden within the seams… Tales of bravery, daring and bold, Hopes for the future…promises to uphold. Perhaps the goal of poets and dreamers, Is to weave the illusions for the believers, Spin the threads of imagination, Opening the everlasting paths of creation. So while love unfolds across the screen, And tales are whispered in between. Let’s not forget the dreamers… The writers, The poets, The believers, And to all of those who create and preach, About all those things we can only teach. Let us not forget the hopes of each, And bring all those things within our reach.
