Hi all, here is a short one for the night. I have missed being here and I want to thank all of you who prayed for me recently. I really appreciate the thoughts and prayers. God bless you all. Leah
Yesterday's dreams Like laundry that hangs From the clothesline Of life Tossed by the winds Of adversity And neglect And torn to shreds. Bleached to colorless hues By the sun of ill-gotten hopes. Yesterday's dreams How can you hang there and mock me Like mist from the smoker's pipe? Luring me into Enchanted highs of fantasys With your promises of reality Again. I will not toke of your magic I won't be seduced by Your deceit. I see with eyes of knowing,now As I watch the darkness fall And I see you for what you are. Yesterday's dreams Bathed in the moonlight Of last night's Spilled wine. � Leah 2005

Leah such perceptive imagery, keenly describing the disappointment in the hopes that never seem to materialize. Sad but beautifully written! Good to read you! Be well!

Wish I could see Ed's humor in this....just doesn't seem like you're talking about dirty laundry. I like your style.

If yesterdays laundry is still out on the line, you better get it in, I hear rain is approaching...? Ed
