A thousand voices
Maybe more
Call out within my mind
Praying for life
And tempting me with dreams
A multitude of rabbit holes
That merge
Into a maze of adventures
*
I wish to follow
Grant every dream some flesh
Forged of ink and paper
Or virtual font
To cast the voices
Into a world they see
Through my eyes
And memories
*
The challenge is time
Younger days are wasted
Because we think there is tomorrow
Lost moments build
And our tomorrows are limited
We remember we are finite
Dreams panic and scream
As they see oblivion

A terrific poem, Charles. It captures the feeling of lost time perfectly. The last line was genius.

Beautiful poem, but very sad. I hope you’ll someday have time to capture those dreams on paper.

That is definitely relatable since I feel like I haven’t done enough and I’ve been disillusioned in multiple creative fields.
Also, did you get my comment for that homage post? I don’t think it showed up.

I haven’t seen the latest comment show up.
I try hard not to be disillusioned. Writing us a really tough gig to excel in and it’s gotten harder. Seems mostly those who are already famous get contracts.

Good on you for trying to not be disillusioned in what you do. I agree with writing being an author myself and I surely don’t make enough to replace my regular jobs. Life experiences and discovering uncomfortable truths have certainly caused me to be disillusioned and even bitter.

I went full-time author while taking care of my son who has special needs. He’s much better now, so I was able to get a full-time job since the books aren’t selling. People say they like the stories and characters on my blog, but they’ve either already bought copies or don’t buy. Figure I’ll keep writing and publishing occasionally. Something has to give somewhere.

I see. I’m glad you were still able to write and to get work even when the books weren’t taking in money. That certainly sounds like one of my other blogs that’s about my fiction projects. My books aren’t even expensive and some of them are free/pay-what-you-want, so that makes it even more frustrating for me.

Aside from a bundle, my books are either $2.99 or .99 cents with one freebie at the start of my previous series. It’s amazing how it still requires thousands of dollars in marketing to get even a blip. Seems writing is become a rich person’s game.

That’s the same price range as most of my books, too. I’m slowly starting to realize it and I certainly don’t have that kind of money to dump on marketing and advertising.

Yeah. It’s kind of sad that it’s who promotes better and not who writes the better story.

Very true and I wish it wasn’t the case. You could also make the same case about movies as well.

Yeah, Sorry about that. I thought the first one was sent to the WP ether or didn’t exist, so I tried again.

I think it was the lengthy link in the comments that made it think it was spam. Responded to one of them.

Gotcha and I saw that. That’s weird how some long links can make a comment spam worthy.

It’s their spam filter system. Seems to be a lot more sensitive lately.
