The dream didn’t come
Until those little eyes opened.
Possibilities sat vacant
With no reason to consider
Days and days
The ones like yesterday
That run to become tomorrow
Without any heart.
Songs sung from
Frustration and anger
Become sung by love
To close sleepy eyes,
Of someone who matters,
Who is dreaming you matter.

How very true of life rushing past us, and are ability to only grasp tiny fringes from it. Eloquent, Russell!
Thanks M.Shahin! Glad you enjoyed those line and thanks for the wise and wonderful comment.
oooh, i'm really likin' this too--especially the last stanza!
From the heart of a Dad?
I love this. Like stumbling into something you always wanted, but never knew how satisfying it would be. It's beautiful.
Thank you Madame B! One can't ask for a nicer comment than one that is powerful and appreciative. Thanks for the great words!
Thanks Pat! Naturally!
Miss Richardson thanks a lot! What wise and kind comments. Thanks so much for the visit and the warm words!
Oh Russell, this is excellence!
Thanks Aurora! Those are sweet and wonderful words indeed. Thanks for the great comment, gentle lady.
Thoughtful!
Thanks gautami tripathy! I appreciate your comment very much.
Russell...greetings. I enjoy your poetry. Meant to stop by earlier and tell you that. I like your depth coupled with uniqueness of expression.
Noted that you list the University of Arizona Poetry Center...great one. Went to college there way back...not poetry, but archeology as an undergraduate. I work in Tucson quite often...it's a very poetic place.
Hi Don! I'm a Wildcat too. I was a student poet there in the sixties. I was involved in the Bandersnatch and lived in the place accross from the Architecture building called the Druid Student Center. When were you there?
Thanks for the kind words, glad you like the poetry!
Russell...what a small world!
I remember the Bandersnatch. I lived in Yavapai Hall when start at UA, then Park-Adams Apartment, then a house on 2nd Street. I was at UA 1969-1972. Tucson is truly a magical place.
I am working on a new regional economic strategy for the Tucson region right now so I travel there once a month for a week. If you check my site, you'll find many Tucson poems, including some from last week.
Best wishes!
Don
PS: Kazakhstan? Are you from there? If not, how did you find your way there? Also, what type consulting work are you involved with. This will tell you about my work: www.don-iannone.com
Hi Don! I actually started at the U of A in '65. I was absent a few years and returned in '70.
The Bandersnatch was a lot of fun and the time was, indeed, magical. Tucson and Almaty, Kazakhstan have actually been sister cities since 1982 or so.
I consult in the food industry as I was an executive chef and food and beverage director for about 15 years. Before that I was a retail meat cutter for almost 20 years.
It is indeed a small world until you start flying half way around it every year. I'll be in Tucson from 23 Dec until aproximately 12 Jan 2007. I don't expect you'll be there at that time but it is very interesting to know that you go there every month.
Good luck helping Tucson with it's growth, it is a wonderful place.
We can only know anyone from those that love them-like it very much
Thanks Sue! Love is indeed one of knowledge's finest forms. I'm glad you liked this. Thanks for the great comment.
