Wasteland Copyright 2001 Written by James Edward Shields Play for me sorrowed tune Smoke rising in dance Dust in air of that what once was Silence halts in this place Cold face stare laced rapid heartbeat Ruin crawled about a hollow land Flames torn eating the dirt And the skies can only cry We are born into this world alone, and we will die alone. It is what we do between those times that matters. This is where we leave our mark. |

Great poem, very flowing in meaning to me. "Don't think you can know you can" |

well i enjoyed this read alot. reminds me of one of my poems called "escaping" with the brief flickers of words that trap people into the meaning of it all. love it and keep it up. I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson- |

I would like to take the time to thank everyone who responded to this poem with their comments. Thanks, James We are born into this world alone, and we will die alone. It is what we do between those times that matters. This is where we leave our mark. |

Whoa! This was quite well-written. I especially liked your second stanza, " Cold face stare laced rapid heartbeat Ruin crawled about a hollow land Flames torn eating the dirt And the skies can only cry " "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |

Thank you, it was heavily inspired. We are born into this world alone, and we will die alone. It is what we do between those times that matters. This is where we leave our mark. |
