I use the ellipsis a lot too. It's just a natural reflection of me talking, and pausing for a second... lol, I felt right at home. love the poem, the world is wild now, and always, seeing you wrote this first in 2014. The problems change the chaos stays the same. Maybe that is what sleep is really for, to end each day, and dream a new creation into reality. To wake up into a new world.

'Wake up into a new world'... oh Kara, I like that notion! Beats the hell out of the "Okay, so where IS that asteroid?' mindset LOL Thanks for the gracious words and wonderful comment.

Oh, and...? Long live the ellipsis! ;-)

Everything is a never ending story... imagined into existence. I would like to look into the concept of LIFE is a Reflection of your Beliefs, of where you are putting your attention. I want to uncover the truth or lie in that.

Thank you Stone, I tend to be in the mindset of where and when is that asteroid going to hit, thanks for giving me the bright idea to investigate this further. I'd like to wake up each morning to a new life... a new perspective, wonder where it would take me.

Very happy you do, Jacqueline! Thanks so much!

Oh, and sidebar? You ever take a notion to convert one of my poems into a song, you do not have to ask permission; I've heard your musical stylings, so just assume said-permission is granted in advance ;-)

It’s a wonderful poem, Stone. Wow! I can’t wait to read more. And I use ellipses a lot too, as well as the dash.

Beautiful poem. It brought to mind Sarah Mclachlan's song "Hold On".
