Beyond Wisdom

there beyond wisdom
the sun sets
on dreams
unfulfilled
because someone
somewhere
sometime
proclaimed them
senseless

what if…?

  1. Having one or two unfulfilled dreams myself, due to not having been able to challenge the “senselessness” of it all, every word in the verse has so much meaning to me that they feel like my very own. Thank you very much for the tears… what if, indeed…

    1. Thank you so much for your heartfelt response. I’m not sure if I should be happy I made you cry…
      “But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.”
      ― Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid
      I think it’s a release to have a good cry now and then :)

      I leave you these words to ponder over:

      “Your inhibitions are in vain
      No one to mock you, nor any to inspire
      Except yourself…”

  2. Dear Sonya,

    Thank you very much for this poem. I like it a lot. To me, this speaks to *possibility*, so often said to be senseless. Without it, though, from where would sanity grow?

    All good wishes,

    robert
