Dreams


He
suddenly
realized

He
arrived
at that point

in life

Where he
dreamed

less
of the
future

And more

of the
past

Friday Thoughts:
I stopped posting my story/poems every Friday for a while; I felt that I was slacking on my serious posts on Linkedin. So the stories went into time out. Which they felt was very unfair. It surely wasn't their fault, business brain was slacking? They probably had a point.

This story/thought, came to me in that mindspace right before going to sleep. I wasn't 'dreaming' of the what could be, or what might be, or the fantastic what never may be. I was dreaming a memory.

Is there a point where one stops dreaming of the future and only in memories? Yearning not for the kisses of the future but the remembrance of those past?

No one ever warned me of this journey.

When I sent the story to Yvette Gilbert, this was a case where my image in my head was dramatically different than her vision. I never expected it. (and this is why I love doing these) Yvette can be found https://lnkd.in/ekT-J6A4
