What is Real and What is Not
It can be a dilemma
Caught in a web
Unable to move
Unsure which way to go
Are dreams real, you ask
Hard to say
For they seem so
Until you wake with a gasp
Is love real
It seems so
When you look into my eyes
Steal a kiss
Will it last
Hard to tell
Passion comes and goes
Like the wind itself
The sky turns dark
The wind blows a gale
A storm is upon us
And then it blows itself out
All is calm
What is real
The storm or the calm
Hard to tell
When in the middle of it

I can feel this being in the middle of What Is....which is a very fine place to be.
This is a great poem to ask a complex question Annell. I think probably both are real, in their moment. It is a reflection of the Yin & Yang of life. One must exist for the other to exist. No up without down, no good without bad, no light without dark, no yes without no. They define each other because the contrast is absolutely essential for either to exist. The balance is what is important. So both sides of the coin are real, they define the coin. Oh my, got a bit philosophical there. Anyway, I liked your poem here Annell... :-)
Often difficult to tell which is real and which is not. I like Rob's philosophical take, and your clever posing of the question!
What is real / The storm or the calm? Good question!
The storm's eye... so close to disaster, just like passion
