Here, Now, Forever

0 posted 2000-12-25 07:45 PM

The new day takes in it’s first morning breath,
As the sun crests the edge of this world,
The trees stretch their arms and yawn with the wind,
As the morning glory’s petals unfurl,
The wandering wind whispers in my ear,
As I breeze through this birth of new light,
Speaking softly to me, “Know you not what’s near?”
“Before tomorrow drives away this night?”
The tallgrass conducts it’s symphony,
I answer in silence profound,
How I long to bathe in her sympathy,
But I fear I have already drowned,
Now I sit at the peak of these valley walls,
Above the crystal waterfalls,
Strain from the pain of this life so stained,
Washes away the wonder of a will retained,
Leaving no care for all I’ve ever gained,
or loved, beaten down by my own remains.
This new soul takes in it’s first morning breath,
Born upon these valley cliffs,
Inside me the answer exists only not,
The clouds in the sky still shift,
“I know not what is to come” I say,
“As I know only this.”
“My destiny swells from my own creation,”
“What I long for will not be unkissed,”
An eagle now soars these boundless skies,
While the faithful wind answers me,
“Live not your life, in that of disguise,”
“And manipulative tyranny.”
“Seek this life within yourself,”
“For I know not what is to come”
“I inquire, merely, of your inner wealth,”
“For you are the chosen one.”
The vagabond air now speaks no more,
Curtains of silence blanket infinite shores,
I know, yet know not, what’s now in store,
Clandestine before and evermore,
For I am the eagle that soars.

Will you come travel with me? Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?

This is amazing, the image I have is beautiful.

"The tallgrass conducts it’s symphony,
I answer in silence profound,
How I long to bathe in her sympathy,
But I fear I have already drowned,"

Your words have taken my breath away, awesome and intense.

ES,

This was beautiful writing. I love your imagery. I feel like I am there watching it happen before my eyes. Well done.

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats
