Beautiful, I love this, and I have desired the same as you. Never give up on your dreams, sometimes they are all that we have to get us through one day to the next. Without dreams life would truly be ugly.

Thank you hun. HUGZ

Keep reaching for the key. It's down there, deep, down there, when you close your eyes. Once in your hand, that key will allow you to pass thru the gateless gate. Try looking in the area of the two lines that you provided - "...Too many ties, too many demands. I ache to be free...." I hear these two lines rising from the very core of your being. Keep on. D

Thank you hun.

Elizabeth, Ties, and demands pass away, within moments of time"Keep writing" Beam bright through the darkness awakening from these moments of deep sleep into life, a dream. As you have said yourself "On wings of song would I soar, one with the stars." In addition, what might I ask do you think you are you doing now? Your wish is but a realization away. Billions of sparkling lights welcome you to roam free the universe every second of every day. (Of course, some have limitations, yet some planets aren't, as close therefore they do not show as bright. This makes perfect senseThe universe is vast, enjoy your journeys where ever they may take you or however as I will also when you choose to take me with you.) "Thanks for sharing this journey... Warm smiles, as big HUGS!"

HUGZ Thank you hun!

Excellent work, Miss Elizabeth. You just have to do like old, grumpy TallPockets does, young lady. "Sleepwalk" at times. WINK.

LOL!!! Thank you hun HUGZ

Nicely put. I too, have yearned for freedom and faced the fact that some things that I want so badly will never be mine.. except for in dreams. In dreams I can fly.

Then we will fly together my friend.
