I felt myself get swept away,
My feet taken from beneath me,
No foundation, No higher ground,
There lay no path,
The incarcaration of a blind man,
All lamps had fallen, lost their glow,
Living redemption halted,
Delusions of grandeur were left behind,
Pure hearts diseased,
Tomorrow vanished,
Leaving an untouchable essence,
Pawing, grasping, reaching for the void,
Rediscover me,
Victim of displaced hope,
Child of silenced rage,
Hold me to a perfection,
Fear without faith,
Efficiency, sufficiency, consistancy flawed,
My weakness surveils as I fall to the floor,
Bowed my head and secured my rest,
I was swept away

Ku'uipo...

"rediscover me"  Loved this line!

This was a very intense poem but I understood your notions.  You've depicted some true human emotion in this poem, I think that everyone will be able to relate to this on some level.  Well done, a wonderful read!

Incredibly penetrating earthiness almost flying on a wind to sing a song

Really liked it

In echo here...
the faltering step
That carries the feeling of lost forever...
Not true.

Very well done, well expressed...
Pure and thorough in the emotions conveyed.
