Rebirth is vivid.
Crystal understanding
embraced in respect
for this great maze.
I don’t need to see the exit anymore.
I don’t need to know the way.
With each dead end, I turn around faster.
There is more to see, and the clock winds down slowly
All this time spent figuring out
It’s the corners that really matter.
But you knew that Walt.

hmm.. I don't know if this was supposed to be serious... or funny. I liked the last line "but you knew that walt" that gives it kind of a humorous twist. very nicely written.

Kevin~
This is an excellent piece.
I just love the whole concept of this and you've
done a great job of putting it into verse.
Well done!

Hmmm.... I'm not sure to whether this is meant to be deep or ramble, perhaps because I'm totally tired and worn out tonight. You did well on this, although I wish I grasped it better.

Its not really supposed to be deep at all, Rebirth is vivid. When you see the world in a different light, everything seems to come into focus. I stopped worrying about what I'm supposed to be doing with my life and how I am supposed to get there, and just started plain old living it. The reference to Walt Whitman is about his love for life. The corners refer to changes in direction, never knowing whats around them, what makes the next day worth looking forward to
