“The Blueprint for Idealism” by Ireland
cry the beloved hours
that effortless era of youth
tripping lightly through
minefields of destiny
insensate of peril
unhampered by gravity
everything possible
given free rein of the heart
the brain merely a vessel
for artifacts perfect imagined
ethereal substance of
piquant potential
a time for the birthing
of worlds of the mind
existential idealist utopias
cry the beloved hours
that effortless era of youth
Writer Lynne Sargent

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

I am where the valleys are deep, the mountains are high, and the wind moans through trees...
I remember it well. Those days before reality swamped dreams

it feels like a violent whiplash to have sped away from the feeling that all is possible, only to have arrived at a place where nothing seems possible

I’m tangling with your poem. I confess that I do not remember my youth as being effortless.

we all come with different experience – for me, it was judgment that was effortless – always so sure of good and bad, right and wrong, black and white – too easy to nominate heroes and villains – too easy to love and hate

Thank you for this insight. This comes through consistently in your poetry. I, too, was clear about right and wrong, though in a different sphere of experience. I still am and can’t believe the US is in such a mess.
