Illusions

She floated on the outer edges of life. The dreams that landed at her doorstep. We're all but gone. And then everything went back to the way, it was before she came along. As she floated on death's door. When it opened, she would pass through. For this life, as we all know. Is but a learning tool. March 5, 2016, 12noon

Hoping you are well on this Valentine week. You haven't been posting much, but I know it is because your life is rich--at least I hope so. Your poem here is outstanding. You summarized life with such brevity. In fact, we know how quickly we pass and how quickly all is forgotten. Monuments don't really help.

What an interesting way to put it: a learning tool . Sadly many do not learn much. I really enjoyed this one, Debbie.

An interesting write, Debbie! Life truly is a learning tool! We might build bridges then discover that the place we are, is the most secure place to be. Best wishes, love, Mikki :)

Personally, I think this is a subtle hell world where we might improve our future lot on rebirth, If we try to be nicer to the other Prisoners of Mother Earth. Why else are there awful places to be born? And so much bloody suffering.
