Who can say why
the road goes the way it goes,
the day flows the way it flows
Full circle. Back here again.
Child’s spirit in the eyes still shining
beneath the dark curtain and the outlines yet darker,
between the two wounds desired once more.
The roads meet. Full circle.
Sail away, sail away again
to an enchanted world of vast canyons,
figures in the blue light before dawn
chanting exotic words no longer understood.
Sun shines over the sleepy white plains.
Fuzzy palaces not quite tangible.
Hands reach over cliffs.
Who would have thought it?
Talent re-emerges, misfit, loner
Spark re-kindled, happier, stronger
Yet more fuel to keep the candle burning.
Keeping this star twinkling.
I could, should I?
I can, can’t I?
Can I?

Well this is a bit abstract isn't it?
I would like to have feedback on this. I wrote this merely as an expression of what I was feeling at the time. Although it is quite important to me I do not know if it has artistic merit or if anyone else can get anything out of reading it. I would like to hear people's oppinions. Be brutally honest, I won't be offended. For abit of background infomation this poem is the result of me digging up some of my mum's new age records. Enya and Adiemus were part of the soundtrack to my early childhood and now I have listened to them years later I have found that I have fallen in love with them again. That was the first source of inspiration but some things I have been thinking about recently managed to creep their way in and some new ideas as well. "Only time" is the title of my favourite Enya song an the first stanza is based around some of its lyrics. The first line in the third stanza is taken from the Enya song "Orinoco Flow." Some of you may have noticed a reference to my poem "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in the last staza. See if you can work out the link. Oh and if anyone can figure out what I'm going on about in the second stanza I'll be interested. Think literally and laterally and you might just get it. Crikey I've written a lot. |

I like this. I don't know, really, but it seems like..... it's BIG. It spans a lot of... stuff. (I am so coherent today, not.) It's like, the language you've used all seems like it has a giant scope and everything fits in together.... like the circle of life or whatever. Time is like that, I guess.
I'm not pretending to understand this completely - I can a little bit, but not entirely. Still, I like it. I have no idea whether this is what you intended or not, but it all seems to have a scale to it, it's like the itty bitty stuff connecting with the big epic stuff.
...meh. I don't know. Am I reading far too much into this??

~OTP~
I really like the 'wondering' factor here, augmented by the use of questions.
As for the candle... as it sheds light, it creates shadows. So work with that, but remember not to stare directly at the light or you can't see in the dark when you look away.
Cryptic aren't I? Go figure.

Strength to thy soul and wind to thy wings.
Sunlight to walk in,
moonlight to dance in,
starry skies to gaze upon.
The "itty bitty stuff connecting with the big epic stuff" is a great interpretation. Well done!

Insecurity, not really.
Snow, no. I actually wrote the bulk of this before the snow. I just noticed the phrase "Sleepy white plains" which is probably where you got the snow idea from but that is a reference to something else.
Struggle with GCSEs is interesting. It is not directly connected with this but is connected with something that is connected with this. You're not the only one who can be cryptic my love.
I LOVE your candle interpretation.
Your comments are always so interesting xxx

Don't worry, I don't understand being smart either. I try to cover that up by using big words but usually I fail and my
monron-ness (more than not a word, that was an abuse of language) shows through. Thankyou for your comment my love!
