Land of Folly


This is the place that time rejected

Where our days are spent in folly

And our dreams hang above our heads

Like a thick descending fog

Blinded by a reality that does not exist

Except through the showreels projected in our minds

We stumble and fall as we breathe in the heavy air

Lost with no intention of being found

Blinded by a reality that does not exist

Very profound!
This poem is written by you?...in this case, you are also a painter with words.

Yes written by me. It is interesting you chose those lines as they painted the most vivid picture in my mind when I was working on them.

I'll just call this fact an "interesting" synchronicity.
Keep writing like this...I'll read between and beyond the words...otherwise, I'll be 'blinded' having my eyes wide open.

I'm glad you found my poetry and artwork interesting, thank you!

beautiful interpretation dear friend @opheliafu to a reality more and more effective in our days. Congratulations on the good work. Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful poetry dedicated to the reality of our days.
I wish you a beautiful week

I'm fortunate to be able to spend today painting my dreams :D

For some unknown reason this dreamy land of folly makes me think- picture yourself in a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Hmmm, not a drop of orange in your picture though.

That description made me think of Peter Doig's paintings.

No man's land...
These colors are very suggestive.

They felt dream like to me, like a dusk fog.

Exactly, looking deeply in the colors meaning, I feel like a sleepwalker of my own thoughts...

Your upper watercolor paint with the trees is really gorgeous. Fits well with your poetry.

Thank you @eternalsunshine, glad you like it.

Very interesting post @opheliafu
dreams that can be in like a dream.
Sometimes dreams can be a dream.
So is the dream.
Some people dreams come true and even most dreams are not realized even with certain reasons.

And certainly everyone wants to realize a dream.

I wait for the next post.
Thank's verry much

The beauty of dreams !

The land of folly Is the land of extinction.

For some, maybe.

The land of folly sounds like a trip to the mall. :-)

I'm not a keen shopper, so that would not be pleasant trip for me!

beautiful painting..with nice poetry..

Thank you very much

Cool painting

Thanks!

Beautiful watercolor painting, @opheliafu

I was once lost with no intention to be found, but I am found now. Beautiful post.
