A State of Disarray

0 posted 2002-01-08 11:54 AM

It was the dawn of youth
That the muse came to me.
With rainbows in raindrop puddles
Made from ancient droplets
That have been themselves before.
Drops that illuminate the way
To harbor all the illusions,
By dipping in the rainbow inkwell,
Then whispering on parchment
The thoughts I could not tell.
My secret soapbox
And preservation of life,
Grains of sand that vanished
Into the ocean
Of freeze frame memories
I'd always intended to keep.
And I rediscover, on tossed aside
Matchbox covers and checkbook registers,
On grocery receipts hidden amongst my taxes,
Those long lost agonies
And triumphs of moment
that I can only keep
If I discard them in future piles.
There is no ego...
Only a sillhouette of strength;
A calm fracture of mind
that remembers
This life is only school.
There are no wrong answers,
Only difficult days.
Bad things also have beauty.
And the greatest life
is a life that ends
In a tragedy that gives the world pause.

Just believe...

BRAVO!!! Yes, yes, there is beauty in everything, for even in the bad things and sorrow we can learn from our own tears and find solace through understanding them and learning from our mistakes and actions. (big hugggssssss) So well said, sweet friend, this is a wonderful thought-provoking poem, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
