TRUTH OF IMAGINATION

John Keats (31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, despite his works having been in publication for only four years before his death from tuberculosis at the age of 25. 🙁

YOUR BEAUTY
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
“SOME DAY YOU MAY BE AS OLD AS I AM. PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE, AND DON’T WASTE YOUR SHORT LIFE. INVEST YOUR YOUTHFUL VITALITY IN YOUR ART. SHARE THE BEST OF YOUR SPIRIT WITH THE WORLD. YOUR BODY WILL DIE, BUT YOU CANNOT DIE. SO, DON’T WORRY ABOUT PETTY THINGS LIKE BODIES, MONEY AND POSSESSIONS. THEY PASS WITH THE BODY AND ARE MEANINGLESS. DON’T WORRY WHAT ANYONE THINKS OF YOU. DON’T SEEK APPROVAL, EXCEPT FROM YOURSELF.
YOUR ART AND IDEAS ARE SIGNS OF YOUR SPIRIT.
YOUR BEAUTY ENDURES FOREVER, AS DO YOU.”
— Lawrence R. Spencer. 2012
BEAUTIFUL SADNESS

“IN DREAMS”
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman tiptoes to my room every night just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper, “Go to sleep. Everything is alright.”
I close my eyes, Then I drift away…into the magic night.
I softly say a silent prayer, like dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream… my dreams of you.
In dreams I walk with you.
In dreams I talk to you.
In dreams you’re mine.
All of the time we’re together… In dreams… In dreams.
But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.
I can’t help it… I can’t help it if I cry.
I remember that you said “goodbye”.
It’s too bad that all these things can only happen in my dreams…
Only in dreams… in beautiful dreams.”
