Living, dream to dream.
Not wanting to awaken
and feal what is real.
For what's truly real
is what's too painful to face.
Dreaming keeps me sane.
Time to own my "truth".
From slumber's depth I arise
confronting demons.
Ever so bravely
I must struggle to now be.
Come reality.

Even when you're sick, you've still got it!
Wow, nicely done! I really hope that you aren't facing too many demons in your reality though... :(
For me, I think it's the opposite - my dreams are more disturbing lately than my reality.
You're not feeling well? Hope that passes quickly!!
Sorry you've been ill! I hope you are feeling "real" again soon!
I rarely have dreams, but don't you hate when it's a good one and you wake up before it's over?!
That is beautiful. Hope you are feeling better!
Another amazing job!
Love the lines about "time to own my own truth" and "dreaming keeps me sane." So true. Beautifully put, as usual!
I always find something personal in these
"For what's truly real/is what's too painful to face." Nothing so true as this ever written.
I didn't go all haiku, but I did post a poem I wrote a long time ago today. It's my new Wednesday format (for now).
sleep is the best way to forget...until i wake with reality all over again
Wow! That's some deep stuff! Really creative, girlfriend!
Very nice! I have been having trouble getting serious lately. I loved your haiku though.
I hope you feel better soon!
Very interesting. I like it. :)
Reality- it's a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.
this is super Polly !
i think i will ponder a dream or two meself :)
"Time to own my truth"...poignant line. Love your haikus.
What a beautiful Haiku,
you are getting so good at these! :)
gorgeous imagery!
good job!
Deep and somber. Your haikus always sound like you're working through some big issues...! But always well written!
Very nice. Dreams are indeed a respite.
Sensational Haiku Wednesday
These as usual are just wonderful. :) Hope you feel better soon :)
These really touched me, you truly have a way with words.
Beautiful....I hope you are feeling better.
Excellent job with the haikus. I hope you are feeling better too.

Wonderful! Wonderful description of what's inside..
The second "stanza" moves me, especially.
That was wonderful! Dreaming keeps me sane, too.
It pulled on my emotions, Polly.We all need dreams!
