You live, You dream,
You laugh, You Scream.
Everyone dreams of one’s need,
Everyone fears of one’s greed.
All our sorrows and tears
Help us grow stronger over the years.
Beyond that, you can see,
Women dream whatever she be,
And her dreams no one knows,
Dreams that rails on her foes.
All the praises she receives
Will be written in wind, and leaves.
I dream and I am bond with chains,
And I dream that all the pains
Help me learn
And win.
What is life?
A roller coaster ride
That could go extreme.
How to survive?
Hold your steering wheels tight
And do an excellent drive,
No blame game!

Jingle, you have a special talent for writing a poem as if it were simply an interesting conversation, chair-to-chair, with some coffee, of course! And we are talking about “stuff”…and it becomes your poem for today. I LOVE simplicity, straightforward no-blame-game friendliness.
I keep up with you–and yours, although I just cannot do requirements. I can only write a poem if it comes forth without effort–and that does not happen every day. All good things take EFFORT, time, and often some pain……

Excellent my friend 🙂
I love the message in this piece, Jingle, that you are the driver and it’s up to you to be the best you can be! In wind and leaves with glue to stick to you, I say,Well done! Heartspell
Ah.. very well said, Ji !! A refreshing and smile-popping poem…
“And her dreams no one knows,
Dreams that rails on her foes.
All the praises she receives
Will be written in wind, and leaves.”
I totally LOVED these lines… they are SO TRUE!!! 🙂 So.. long live dreams, you and the double life we live! Gee…. we must consider ourselves really lucky for being able to dream (at least the good dreams) 🙂
Love and hugs…
I just love how you take us on the “dream drive” Ji…We all have those dreams and no one knows our heart…but here we can just let go and be free. So well written and I loved it! Hugs ~ Amanda xx
A very sweet and sincere poem!

I have a vivid dream life – sometimes wonderful, sometimes frightening or sad, but always powerful. And I have my waking dreams also to guide me.
wow..lovely words as always 😉
Written with the love and dedication of a true poet. 🙂 Have a happy Wednesday Jingle. 🙂
ah! the ride of our dreams… amazing Jingle.. Beautiful poem with a strong message 🙂 !
A pink poem! I love this! Especially since the subject matter is somehow serious… dressing up pain in powder puffs, how cool is that? 😉
“What is life? A roller coaster ride”
A roller coaster ride indeed- we live, we learn, we dream, we love…

This part is the best Poetry I’ve read this week. I love the lesson.
much wisdom in this piece!
no blame game 🙂 nice..
Ah Jingle! Wouldn’t life be boring if it were not a roller coaster ride?
Nice Jingle. =) the beginning reminded me of the ALANIS MORISSETTE Alanis Morrissette song, “You Learn” where the chorus goes:
====
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

but then you took it on a spin of your own….
I like your attitude.. “no blame game”… amen! =)
Awesome!
We learn just as often as we breathe!
This is world class ~ you certainly do have a Shakespearean blue blood…..
Nice work!
uoooh what a great piece thanks for sharing!!!!
very encouraging and wise… lovely, Jingle 🙂
I agree on no blame.
Just acceptance of what is. And changing what we can. Of great loving power within all of us.
And of Jingle being one very very special woman!
I look forward to putting in a poem for the rally next Thursday. And to visiting many friends. And to seeing you soon, you little butterfly of sunshine!

Nicely put 🙂 thought provoking
Really excellent, Jingle, and I like the fact you point that we are at the steering wheel. We drive our destiny everyday. So dream beautiful, and dream a perfect dream of love, joy and peace.
All three I wish for thee,
Suzanne
I love this . . . I love the sentiment, the message, and the love of life that is so apparently. Thank you, Ji!
I love dreams, this is very nice. You are such a good poet. I think the world of you. Bravo!!! I am visiting so many great poets, this gets better every week. Where did they all come from?
