I’d envisioned
A place of peace,
There to stay
Beyond reach,
Of man’s greed
And insatiable needs,
Yet thus conceived
Gives cause concern,
Want feeling safe
Holds hard to place
This peaceful scene,
Now seems a dream
Of whimsical vision!
Poetry on a canapé
A journey through Jean-Jacques Fournier's poetry
Poetry on a canapé 
It’s there inside, always there, and we see it shine in the eyes of those we love, once again we light up.
Of course you’re right, and I see it every day, and when I don’t it’s simply because I can’t help seeing that very real dark side of reality. Thank you Paulette for your beautiful words. Jean-Jacques
Same here. Easier to point back to the light within with words, not so easy in reality. Thank you for my reality check. Appreciated.
Ah Paulette… you are such a beautiful soul. A rare person, who can with very few words can have me thinking ever so deeper than my hurry, and laziness sometimes interferes. A reality check from me, for you…you’ve got to be kidding. I’m a student my dear, not a teacher. Jean-Jacques
Feel safe, words that I speak well, who am always in search of safety. Beautiful poem! 🙂
Merci en plus pour votre commentaire… Pleased to know that this poem spoke to you in a somewhat intimate manner. Thank you again. Jean-Jacques Fournier
Whimsical indeed…
Life is full of wishful thinking, and some materialize but luckily so most don’t. Thus for it is said… be careful what you for, as you may get your wish! Jean-Jacques
