I heard the wind sing, the trees sigh, I am frozen, a taut string stretched, To the ultimate. Immobile. I saw the sky raging, time rolling, Witnessed flowing lanes, Meander languidly through lives. But I am firmly rooted Underground. A ragged scarecrow, In a midst of burning yellow, stares Resolutely ahead, Enduring violent Mother Nature. Black eyes burn, Flesh ripped by mocking beaks, Smile torn by driving gales, Clothes threadbare, Disfigured by continuous cruelty. Black eyes burn, Sways precariously, The string is plucked A sweet ring echoes rolling hills, Falling, gliding, Black eyes burn Through blinding gold But I see, I see. **I wrote this a million years ago, but it's funny how I feel exactly the same as I did then..it's awakened alot of 'stuff'. |

I couldn't really figure out the hidden meaning to this one...I think I'm just slow today. It was pleasant to read though...just wish I understood. Jeremy Halstead |

This is a very good poem, I wish I could write like this. Job well done. I think I understand what the poem is about, and a time ago I felt like this, but it passes. It's like a never ending circle, when you think it's near the end, it starts again, just when you thought you had everything under control. Hang in there and once again, excellent poem  |
