My computer has had some serious conflicts. It takes me several days of trying just to get on the net to check my mail one time. I hope to get it resolved tonight. If so you will see more of me again. Sorry for the lack of posts. Hope you enjoy this one. Take care everyone!
Trapped Under Ice

I can see clearly
these azure heavens above me,
ladened in ivory hues,
stretching beyond
the edge of my sky.

I can see clearly
These banks once alive
in the spirit of spring,
now cloaked in drifts
of untouched snow
beyond the reach
of my hindered grasp.

I can see clearly
These gentle souls
once dancing happily
by summer’s silver light,
now cold and distant.
Lowering their gaze upon me
underneath their fascist boots
Beyond the reach
of my silenced voice.

I can see clearly
My unyielding spirit
once living at life’s surreal edge,
now fading into memories
tethered to this weathered man
weary of laboring for those
Beyond the reach
of my higher understanding.

I can see clearly now
all things around me
drifting into their natural state
beyond my control,
as leaves on the wind.

I can see clearly now
that chaos reigns above me
well beyond my principled plan.
Yet, for a moment,
I have found my peace here
trapped under ice.

That's such a nice thought~

Peace is where your heart is!  I enjoyed reading your poetry again, Kevo.  Good luck with that computer of yours!

Kevin -- I was wondering where you went. When I read this piece, I have mixed feelings. To me, it speaks of a supressed people who view the world from beneath the barrier of oppression. I may be all wet (tee hee, pun intended) but with this interpretation I find this very sad.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Sometimes being trapped under ice is not a bad thing...but eventually it will melt!! I enjoyed the way this piece went from yearning to a sort-of acceptance and calm...

P.S...I've been having the same probs with my puter, but fortunately the good friends here are always glad to have us return!!!
