Poem: Conflicting Worlds

Pulled apart
between my heart
and my mind
what I need to do
what I have to do
the reality of real life
doctor visits
prescription refills
kids' school woes
relationship blues
and my fantasy life
of the written word
and colorful paintings
to uplift my soul.
The rainbow of hope
that shines despite
the rain of living
bringing comfort
to a string of grey days.
