I haven’t moved for an hourIt’s not what it seemsIf I continue down the road I’m onI’ll get lost in my dreamsBut if I don’t travel itWho knows what might have been?I gave up a lifetimeBy going nowhereOthers got my caringIt stripped me quite bareSo now it’s just me aloneAnd I need to move onBut something has a hold of meIt’s not letting me goWhile others have done just thatLetting go, letting goBut something has a hold of meKeeping me in placeI need to move forwardLetting go, letting goI haven’t moved for an hourIt’s not what it seemsIf I continue down the road I’m onI’ll get lost in my dreams
Really liked this. It resonated. For so long I was afraid to let go – both in life (holding onto negative relationships) and in my writing. So, at some point recently, the person I let go of thought all my previous “I love you’s” were false, too. Before I could embrace and let go, I had to let go. Great poem/song, thanks for sharing it.
Hi Muriel: I am living my dreams, my hopes. Sometimes it’s great, sometimes I wish it was easier, with less obstacles. I don’t remember my “dream” dreams either. Thanks.
Writing is great but there are also other ways to get lost in your dreams (higher self). As I get older and have had many life experiences I feel satisfied (? enough). My dreams and spiritual search are becoming more and more important to me and complications and problems of real life fade away. At times they actually involve me in “real life” but always for the better.
Enjoy your experiences in the moment.
Such an evocative poem Stuart about something I know I have struggled with, letting go and taking a leap of faith into the scary unknown, the place of our dreams.
I finally found the courage to step forward into the dream world where I didnt get lost, but found myself…it is a a magical place…let go, let go

thank you Madison. Sorry it had to resonate, but… I’m glad you liked it.
This is a wonderful piece. I could see myself in it – the true test of great poetry.
Thank you Penelope.
Great poem- i think it resonated with all of us!
Thanks Josie. Glad you enjoyed it.
I find it hard to let go. I never remember my dreams anyway…how is it on the other side?

Thanks for sharing Candace. I appreciate it.
Wonderful. And so evocative. The fear, the conflict, the struggle – but at some point we just know we have to.
Yep Thom…we have to. Thanks. Evocative?
GREAT poem, Stuart!
