This was fantastic, Jesse. It had a wonderful rhyme and expressed something you have always dreamed of 'running'. But first you have to walk before running, it is much easier that way, lol. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessings.

As someone scheduled for her second hip replacement in four days, I hear you. Never thought I would become a bionic woman with two titanium joints. But if I can move without pain again, let's go for it! Meanwhile, I can dream...thanks for sharing your thoughts and dream.

Run, my friend, in your dreams that are destined to be realities. Run as fast and far as you can, and I will weep as I watch you. Hope you had a wonderful holiday.

    You can stop weeping because I am feeling less pain and going for it with walking.
    I will run as far and as fast as I can and be pain-free as I go.
    I enjoyed the holiday and am looking forward to the upcoming ones.
    I hope you have a great holiday season as well.

A poem with a dream and a poem with a goal. It is beautifully written with a good flow from thought to thought. I so do hope this poem become reality, and I look forward to a rewrite of the experience. Terry.

Good morning, Jesse

How wonderful to read that despite how difficult life might be, you still believe and dream of better tomorrow. I pray you never lose that dream and it comes true.

Smiles and hugs, Carol

    I love this review! It has everything a poem or prose piece wants of a reader. I love the descriptive words to use and you end this carefully and well. I hope you also get the dreams you wish for just as I am wishing for my dreams to come into reality. Thanks for the beautiful review.
    Mitchell, I loved this review so much that I will try to memorize it for posterity!
    Have a happy holiday season!

I really enjoyed reading this poem. I was flying along with you as I can really relate
to this as I have had similar dreams. They are so uplifting in more ways than one. Cheers. Jen.

I adore the sentiments here Jesse and I can feel your positivity and this encouragement will help you gain inner strength.

I hope you you don't mind Jesse, but I was so pleased to read your lovely poem that I have some suggestions for the metre within? This will hopefully improve the flow. Here goes:


"As if flying without a sound"

suggest:

"As if I'm flying without sound"

"Carrying extra potent shields"

suggest:

"Carrying those potent shields"

"That guard(s) me as I run along". No (s)

"While singing a triumphant song"

suggest:

"Triumphantly I sing my song"

"I race to reach the finish line"

suggest:

"Racing to reach (each) finish line"

"Embracing this real dream as mine"

suggest:

"Embracing dreams, as they are mine"

Take care of yourself, love Dolly x

This work has reached the exceptional level

"Perchance to dream..." Said Shakespeare!

Indeed, you have dreamed of this moment for so long and the ebullience of your poem is in each well considered line!

Long before surgery you were spying "illusive vivid dreams."

At times they seemed "elusive" as well, yet you did not falter nor lose your belief in yourself...

You are your super power Jesse!

I am beaming because you are soon to reach the finish line...and your sheer will combined with the skill of your surgeon and rehab are coming together to transform it to a brand new starting gate!

Triumphant poem!

Karenina

    Thanks, Karenina, for the extra star and this lovely review.
    I have been waiting a long time as you say and I will be glad to succeed to the highest as I continue to walk and run when I am capable of running.
    Thanks for your support and your kindness, my friend. I have been receiving all good reviews and it brings me up and gives me the lift I crave.
    Have a wonderful Sunday!
