Poetry Wednesday - Until the Time

Apr 30, '08 2:52 AM
for everyone

Until the Time

If only she could paint

The wonderful dreams she has

The amazing land she's in

She would paint on every day she woke up from the dreams

If only she could paint

Then she would devote the time to the art on a canvas

For thousands of dreams she could not recall

For thousands of dreams she could not tell

For a true heart she's been saving

Until the time God decides it to arrive

Until the time all the dreams reveal

Until the time

This is a repost. I wrote this in 2006. This poem was inspired by someone, whom the name I decided not to reveal. Sometimes it feels good to keep some things for yourself alone especially some things you consider private. This was actually my first entry in Poetry Wednesday as I seem to have difficulies in finding free time to write poems.

I decided to choose the poem as I am also inspired by my contact, who is realy good at painting. I do miss painting, I do not know when I will paint again.

Would like to join POETRY WEDNESDAY

DREAMS. Dreams are beautiful and your poem is also beautiful. My poetry this week is also a dream within a dream. My entry for this week is a poem - A Dream within a Dream - by Edgar Allan Poe. It is available at -

As a means of self-discipline, I find a weekly class is good. I mostly paint during my art group and also attend a yoga class. Otherwise the time goes by and I don't make the space for these things that I want to do.

You could try sketching upon awakening or using pastels (dry chalk). They give quick results with lots of colour.

Discretion is a quality.

how do you say 'thanks' in Dutch

dank je wel = thank you
or
bedankt = thanks

and how is that in Indonesian?

luluone wrote on Apr 30

dank je wel! sounds like 'je welry' YAY! I just learn Dutch, in Bahasa we say 'terima kasih'-formal or 'makasih'less formal, and 'trims' informal

trims!

Sounds like this is a love poem. "Until the Time" makes it sound like you're waiting on love to be "right." Very nicely done! Thanks for sharing it with us.

luluone wrote on Apr 30

trims!

sama2 Gerda means like "you're welcome".. now you just "spoke" bahasa

The canvas, the painting, is all there ... it just waits patiently behind the eyes to be seen when finished. For now, the eyes see what will one day become the finished moment

Very well written piece.

Thanks for your visit and comment 8=)

Dear Lulu, I understand you well; if you do not have a poem of your own don't worry, find a lovely one and use it, you do not have to be a writer. But I am glad that you posted this piece. People do inspire us and sometimes we are changed by them, sometimes we change them.

So even if you cannot "paint" those dreams, hold them and express them in another way, until they are worthy of being revealed. Give your love, express your love and you will be enriched in return. Can't "paint" get a "camera," know what I mean?

Your poem was a lovely piece and you will do more when inspired. Writing is like blood-letting for me, not easy, but when the inspiration comes, it flows.

I ended up with computer problems Wednesday night, so I'm just starting to catch up this weekend, and this is lovely--I'm so glad I didn't miss it!

It took me a while to become comfortable with putting my poetry online too. Even now there is a lot I don't post, but far more that I do and have since I first started 2 years ago. And I agree... keeping a part of the poem to yourself keeps a part just for you while offering it to share with others.

luluone wrote on May 4

thanks Janeen,
I also had computer problems
Maybe your will make some of your private poems into a book? at least for your own or family
