There's something spiritual about snowy trees and ocean foam.
Something sad about the path that leads to road.
Something bright within the sun that shines on moon.
Something strong that twists the sea into black bows.
Something soft that eases into pillow sleep.
Something hard that keeps me up, awoken sun.
Something right that pastes these words into their place.
Something clearly wrong in a room of only one.

Now go visit Dark 3!!! (that's not part of the poem, don't worry -- but visit, or you shall feel my wrathy angstiness!)

These are great lines, all of them containing a poem within, just waiting for a poet to write a perspective from the world of poetic language..........Eric

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

I just returned from Dark 3, Mr.Squirrel...
I was terrified of your wrathy angstiness (I see you are another one who makes up his own words....my husband told me, the other day that it must be a chipmunk thing...now I can tell him its a rodent thing)

Gee...now I forgot what I was going to say bout this poem...and I have to go back and read it again...its 2 A.M  here....I'm tired...after that I will sleep well...
be back in a minute

This really is excellent, Mr.Squirrel...
It was worth going back to read again...
I especially loved these lines

Something right that pastes these words into their place.
Something clearly wrong in a room of only one.

lots of meaning here!

Lyra, you're self-sacrifice is astounding to me. When sleep or reading my poems is an option, do what I do -- sleep! lol. Thanks all, for the great responses.
