Think in Spirals……..Not Circles.
(Not a poem. Just a bunch of words).

Circles………..

Sometimes?

We can suffer more within our imagination

Than within our reality.

Sometimes?

We can suffer more within our reality

Than within our imagination.

Vice versa……versa vice.

Sometimes?

The reality is so overwhelming

It destroys the imagination.

And the imagination

Only suffers in the reality.

Spirals……….

Sometimes?

We can find a perfect space

In which to dream

With a calm and beautiful mind

There?

We can have inspiring vision and hope.

Have motivation.

Have determination.

To seek another story and…….

Put our dreams into another reality

By simply, at least, striving to make them……..

Our reality.

Dreams spiral.

They can fly through the wind and rain

Touch the sky

Reach for the stars

And even then

Onwards……..again

Dreams. Hold on to a forever treasure.

Hope. It eventually realises.

And when hope finds the knowledge

That there are no limits

You will become your own reality.

You speak, you shout, you inwardly silently scream.

Eureka!

Those dreams and inspirations

Because they always exist

Within us.

Within our imaginations and thoughts.

Are now free.

Circulate. You fly

But in ever decreasing circles.

Spiral. Your life’s motion is

Upwards,

Downwards,

Inwards,

Outwards,

Forwards,

Backwards.

Onwards,

In reverse?

Yes, still onwards.

Choice on choice

Allowing freedom

To choose.

And begin to live.


Then? There is that simple blog title inclusion of the ’self to self’ title adage.

“And so the story goes.

To where? No one knows.

Borne from?

Well! From self promises.

Not worn out wishes”.

    1. Thank you cookie. I’ve been sinking into song lyric land for a few months now. I remembered posting a version of this early in 2021 on the blog. Just before I retired. Have been reading a few of Sheila Spiral Sister’s blogs, which were influencing thoughts. So went back to find it. I had pushed it into Draft status. I polished it up to get some of the work related ideals out of its framework and get it down to more simplicity content. So this is an updated repost. Bit like our writing of lyrics I suppose. Change the singing and rhythm patterns and the lyric’s words, emphasis and energy have to be tweaked a little. All the best cookie. 🙏🏽

      1. Oh my! I am super humbled yet thrilled any of my writing encouraged your writing of this (returning to your earlier writing and growing this from that prior place)! WOW! I often say an old quote (think it’s a movie line), “i love it when a plan comes together,” and what a fine Universal plan is this?!? Makes me giddy. Thank you, kind sir, for the nod to my blog. Cheers!

      2. I suppose you write thoughts in given moments of time that are complete opposites to other moments. And yet there are certain Universal influences that remain the same. Then you revisit when someone, like yourself, reintroduces the patterns. All the best Sheila.

  3. said not a poem, though reads like one yet still… a relatable process of thoughts on the run 😁( as interpreted by me)

    profound thoughts weaved into this flow, Gray.

    “Well! From self promises.
    Not worn out wishes”….
    to this to now aim… 🏹

    1. Thanks Destiny. The last part of ‘….Story goes…..etc.’, is the Mantra for my site. Wrote it years ago and it has subtle word arrangement changes happening over that time too. 🙏🏽 too. All the best Destiny.

      2. It has a tune too. It was written as a song, actually one Christmas, from way back when. I uploaded it to my Flickr site as a little video. But not sure if it’s there anymore. The song will be uploaded here next year once recorded properly. 😊🙏🏽
