If I had a crystal ball,
I could wind a scarf
Through my locks
And dress flamboyantly
If I had a crystal ball,
I would be a hit at all parties
As long as I cast
Fortunes of optimistic nature
If I had a crystal ball,
I would know all...
See all...
But not tell all
If I had a crystal ball,
I would know
If when someone says
They are going to end it all,
Whether they really are...
If I had a crystal ball
Nothing would be left to fate
I could control my environ
And all those around me,
Because I would know...
All
But I don't have a crystal ball
And although I've had weird dreams,
I am not psychic
Not a mind reader
Not a fortune teller
Is that a good thing...
Or a bad thing?
You tell me...
Please...
Because I don't have a crystal ball
Ah, but if we had these lovely powers and crystal balls, then we would have to become superhuman, and save the world! All the joys and sorrows of mankind would rest on our shoulders, and we would be responsible for not stopping things when they went wrong....I would rather stumble along from day to day, making my mistakes and learning (I hope!) from them.

I love the way you have composed this, as always you draw the reader in and hold them to the very last line. As for good or bad, I think dreams and intuition can sometimes guide you, merge the subconscious with the conscious and follow your destiny! Justine :)
Dee, Re-reading what you have written, makes me reconsider, again and again... B.V.A.
lovely poem DD. especially like the ending. just the sorta poem i like to read! ! al xx
Mmm.....in my opinion, it's best not to know what the future holds. This enables us to live day to day, hour by hour, and to be surprised by the good things we encounter. I wouldn't want to know in advance about the bad stuff either..... A great poem, Dee. Love, Fran xx
Hmm.. I thought I had commented on this already. Needless to say, I really, really like this one. The last verse, where you turn it around, is wonderful. - chuck

Ah Dee! the belle of the ball in crystal, well, we all have gifts/talents and sometimes we expect our-selves to be super human, with unsupassable insight, But the truth is that we are very much the same in many ways as many others We cry, we laugh, and we live the best we can You my dear have a caring heart for others and are a wonderful person to know this shines and others feel your light Love duncan XXX
