pulled in
by the undertow,
dragged
down
below
to see
my
original face,
the home
that beckons
my return,
in solitude
i find
myself,
in solitutde
i lose
myself,
over
and over,
till im
renewed,
as the
tide
sends
me back,
not yet
clean
enough,
to part
with this
wretched
transient
place

got upset driving home from work;
a car ran over a bird, just got to me, people do it everyday, without a thought,
i took the birds soul and wrote this

excellent explination. I have hit one bird one time, I cried for a week...it's very upsetting. Knowing the why of the title, I like the poem that much more

Love the explanation of the title. Inspiration comes from some very different places sometimes.

Beautiful... Enjoyed the read.

I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait.

This shows how really deep you are and sensitive.....but obtuse? I dont know. You are an enigma.
