Romanticism dreamt is disenchantment <br />and death, a problem countered by realism, <br />left-brain thinking enriches us immensely, <br />combined with right-brain intuition we are <br />moreso free than ancient people as we <br />access their wisdom <br /> <br />Story, ideal and dream enriches life, <br />improves relationships, imbues reality <br />with symbols, deeper meaning, every <br />escapist fantasy thickens reality into <br />a multidimensional tapestry; this is <br />why you are my friend, though cynical <br />you never scare me <br /> <br />Offering understanding never thought <br />possible, fantasy pales in comparison <br />yet enabled me to accept a fairytale in <br />my life: you created a safe channel by <br />which I can relate to the most admired <br />author and poet I know; the most gifted <br />realistic person brought about <br /> <br />a culmination of visions, Danke <br /> <br />(The discovery that reality is better than dreams <br />made me very happy. The realisation that dreams, <br />ideals and fantasies are helpful by enabling me to <br />SEE the positive aspects of reality, contributes <br />to this happiness.)<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/culmination-of-visions/
