Why is it that I should wonder If I were a younger man would I understand But I now have grown and Things look different from where I stand But when I look around The world seems unchanged Perhaps I am only a fool Whose dreams have been exchanged For reality Why is it that I should be scared For it is only the night That brings darkness to light And takes away the flight Of the eagle as she flies As I wind back the clock To a time of innocence When I was only a mere child And I could sense The changes Indeed, the world is turning And why should it be that I feel Like I'm tied under the wheel Of a secret that I couldn't conceal Because I left somebody behind Back in the last lifetime of mine Her hair was golden and Her did so boldly shine In thoughts As of younger days I reflect When I am lying awake Why is it that my body does ache For the promises I failed to make Seems to me a thought Isn't worth a bag of gold These people that pass by Do they know of the old Broken world That passes through my eyes Everyday that I think of me And the person I wanted to be But I grew and began to see Through steely eyes of blue The surrounds of my being The riders and the derailments Of all we were never seeing In thoughts Why is it that I should take To learning by the text Who knows what will happen next The world seems a little vexed Outside it is dreary today And tomorrow may be the same And if I'm still here I'll look upon myself with shame Knowing nothing Of the revolution that appears In the starry nights As the city goes up in lights And the kings and all their knights Roam and crusade As I watch from my bedroom The world losing it's battle Suffering in gloom Until morning And she will fight Like I fought for a day My feelings all but draining away Into the depths of what I say As sunshine opens up To reveal the void in the moon The thoughts of a boy Will disappear soon In thoughts In thoughts When I am sound alseep When I close my eyes and weep Fires burning away at my feet Confusion is killing us - brings us to our knees Starry galaxies will crumble Into the lake of glassy perfection Through mirrored rooms we stumble In thoughts |

Intense and profound are indeed appropriate adjectives. This poem has the feel of T.S. Eliot. Very well done, indeed. Pete |

Christopher, This had some depth for sure... Yes, intense and profound are the right words... regards, sudhir. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee, Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; - John Donne |

Christopher (feel like I'm talking to myself... which I do, but usually not in fron tof other people... usually  )What a feel to this, I like the flow! I wholeheartedly agree with: But I now have grown and Things look different from where I stand But I have to (from a personal vp) disagree with: But when I look around The world seems unchanged But that's just me! |
