Ambrosial Sips.

Are you lonely ?

Like me do you feel
the demands of everyday life
closing in - - unrevealed.

Heartaches can stifle excitement,
so, do you steal
time out for dreaming ?

Do you, eyes closed, vision wheels
of chariot-sunbeams
floating on nectar-seas, or keels
of ships filled with bubbling
ambrosial sips for healing
a thirsty heart ?

When time needs a repeal
do you practice withdrawing to
mystical freedom ?

Are you , like me, learning,
as love's ways to dream are revealed ?

Coping with loneliness
takes much more than plain zeal.

A lovely write, as one of my other poems says. "The dream takes the dreamer." So if you can still dream, it's really not that lonely.

we do what we can with what we have. And coping with loneliness does take a fare bit more than stirring in a tablespoon full of zeal.A strong write.

I agree with all this, one needs to find an exclusive world of ones own to dream and get away from the harsh reality of life. All your words create a lovely shangrila. Thanks for taking me on a journey into a dream world.

Loneliness is something I guess we all have to cope with - beautifully dealt with in true Fay style in this piece...I loved "Ambrosial sips for healing A thirsty heart ?"

Floating in dreams to escape from cravings on chariot or ship or having mystical freedom sipping elixir is wonderful indeed! I share it very much with you!
