Charge

Image by Dora Wednesday

If it gives me a charge
To escape this miserable world with its forced marches to an early grave 
And run away to a realm extraterrestrial, extradimensional
To find a small portion of imaginary happiness
I care not if you believe
For I need to retreat to this realm which is often more real than the real in order to survive

    Oh yes, retreat to an alternate reality............the one we currently inhabit is more unreal than anything I have witnessed in seventy years of living. Sigh.

    I love this "imaginary happiness." I think we all have a place like that.

    You stretched my imagination with this one. I wasn't sure where real begins or ends, or exists

    Much love...

    A message from the Underworld, I see...and a welcome flag of defiance in a drab, and indeed, increasingly vicious world.

    We need to fantasize and escape the cruel reality of day to day life sometimes. Great poem.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
