With Heartfelt Gratitude to HOTEL by Masticadores: Chances Are, You’re The Reason

Hello, my precious Readers. Spring has sprung!

Another honor to have my poem nesting in this lovely literary magazine.
I’m grateful to Editor: Michelle Ayon Navajas at The Hotel of Broken Hearts,
for publishing my poem.

“No one who achieves success does so without
the help of others. The wise and confident
acknowledge this help with gratitude.”
~ Alfred North Whitehead.

CELEBRATING LIFE
No More Sleepwalking
For Life Is Not A Dream

When life is lived with something less than awe and exaltation
Things are never quite what they appear to be
If the awoken sleepwalk mourning through life’s seasons
And the drowsed sleepers awake to a plexiglass dreamlike state

For a slumbering soul ain’t ever been heard of
And no dying dream a full life e’er could fulfill
Life is precious when it is lived fully awoken
Despite tribulations, sorrows, pain, and change

This Life is real and please, make no mistaking…

Friends, may I entice you to continue reading the rest of the poem

the Hotel of Broken Hearts by clicking on this link.
Thank you most dearly.
I celebrate you.
