reconstructive dilemma

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Wednesday, October 6, 2010

I can't logically connect anything you say
to the events of yesterdays and today
Ambiguity marks the path you thread
doublestandards are hiding underneath the bed
Dichotomy is present in every way
what to think, should I stay?

Help me out, I went ahead against better judgement
does that give a sign of my detriment?
or is it the way of the dreamer to alter the world
and the way of the rigid to find it absurd?

Is this a safe place to stay
or should I be on my way?

An age-old dilemma handled and delivered in a new, worthwhile way,
Elisabeth, with depth and genuine questioning.

i really like this one elizabeth 'stay or be on my way' ....as a dreamer i had to read this a couple of times and yeah ...i'd probably stay and 'make' it a safe place (in my mind). those rose colored contacts just help keep me on that higher plain and make this world a little easier

Hm, interesting piece indeed, I consider myself a dreamer and proud of it for without the dreamer where would we find the dreams that come true.
