To Tinsley, re: HOPING

Yeah, "So I was told..."

Is a hope merely a wish with wings?

Is a wish a fantasy with legs?

Is a dream worth anything without both,

or should I have said "all four"?

Sweet:  "wishes  whisper";

may I add?:

dreams  demand,

hopes  harbor;

fantasies  fulfill.

We use them all, in turn;

turning day into night,

lengthening night into day,

extending words into beautiful phrases,

connecting phrases into glowing promises;

and promises become possibilities

as we examine the intent of

the dreams of a Dreamer

we'd never yet met,

yet their  dream

is so much OURS,

that it is uncanny!!!

It must be that our fondest fantasies

are but dreams we share, somehow,

AND WILL NOT LET DIE!!

Whadya think of that!!??
