Really really excellent Tim!  You have captured the essence of the permanent elements of being!!

i'm often rendered speechless by what you write, in a good way
i find it hard to put what your words make me feel into a coherent thought 
this is one of those times

This is a great piece, tim. It paints a picture of longing - not for something external, but rather for the peace born from confidence.

Warning: Incoming philosophy and maybe psychology from a guy who's an expert in neither.

Maybe you're dreaming of what could be. It may feel cruel, to see this version of you that you "can't have," but ... you seem closer now than you've ever been. To me that doesn't mean you're tortured by apparitions of what will never be, but rather you're glimpsing what is possible now where before it wasn't.

Maybe you're right. We will see what happens. Thanks, Wayne.

I agree with Wayne.  I think you are catching up with yourself, soon there will only be one vision ... you. 

Thanks, Michael. xo

Wow, this is beautiful tim. I think we all have a vision of ourselves that we strive to be. I think Wayne is right. The possibilities are there, it's figuring out how to get there that is the hard part. You're on the right track though. 

Thank you very much! I appreciate you reading this one.

There is the reality of who we are, and the ideal of who we want to be. That is the message I get from this poem. It seems to me that the reality and the ideal are like two strings that weave back and forth. Some days you reach your ideal; many other days you don't. I guess the trick is to keep trying. This is another one of your poems that really spoke to me. Thanks, Tim. 

Yes, you're right, Jeffrey. We do have an ideal to which we hold ourselves, but don't always meet. I appreciate your comments! xo

I love this beautiful, enigmatic poem. I’m drawn to the images, clotted uncertainty and confidence as a coat of many colours. My heart wants to follow the vision with you. 

You're welcome to walk with me anytime, Parker.  xo
