I look back trying to find illumination… Seeking my inspiration… Pivotal points of perception… I search for my words… They’ve left me in the desert of my reality…΅∼ ❀∼΅
Transport me to my dreamscape… Let me reside there… Where words float around me like butterflies of serenity… Whispering promises of peace… A balm to soothe my soul… My self expression…needing release…aching for it…΅∼ ❀∼΅
I search the depths of my heart… I see the tears… The sadness… The scars I choose to wear inside… Remembrance of days gone…memories packed away…΅∼ ❀ ∼΅
I see with hindsight a succession of happenings… I see the struggle… The very battle for my sanity ~ end with the discovery of my voice… My words… Each little nuance distinctively mine…΅∼ ❀ ∼΅
I see pieces of me creating my sanctuary… My oasis built from the words woven in my mind… All ways there waiting for me…. A bouquet of thought…΅∼ ❀ ∼΅
This is my diaphanous dreamscape… A reflection of me… My creation… Born from the ashes of my former life… Now the foundation on which I rebuild…. ~ ~΅〜 ೋ ♥ ೋ 〜΅

Wow. That is a very powerful and such a sad poem. Searching what once was for what could be. Using scars as armour against future memories. Using everything in the past to build a protection, a plinth. Then like a phoenix arising. I love it.
Each time I say a poem is one of your best, and then you do the impossible and better it. I read it several times

I’ve been browsing these familiar lines hunting for my favourites which is always a futile exercise as I can’t decide which ones are my favourite. They change through each reading and that leaves me happily flummoxed.
Seeing the sadness, you have come through and endure is always a struggle, however those same experiences have allowed you to create the Dreamscape, your oasis, a permenant place of wonder within which you take solace.
You should rightly be proud of your words and the foundation is indeed a strong one. You keep your audience captivated through the sincerity of your words and the imagery with which you drive through the heart of your words.
