Well, I’m at the CSC sipping on my mocha and I should be writing a poem for my lit homework tomorrow. To motivate myself, I read through all my old poems…quite a fascinating slide-show of my past! Anyway, I realized I hadn’t posted the poem I wrote for my last lit homework, so thought I’d post that now. Comments appreciated!!
I am searching for myself
in the darkness of the storm
in the riot of the trees
in the crying of the wind.
I am cold and I am lost.
I climb forever up the mount
built of fallen memories
built of fated lovers’ bones
built of bloody victories.
I rise up and I fall yet.
I seek the ever changing sky
in the sighing of the wind
in the quiet of the trees
in the starkness of the storm.
I am here and I am not.
One more cry of deepest pain
One more cry of utmost glee
One more cry in fallen rain
Why oh why can I not see?
Why oh why am I denied?
Give me now a dance to live!
Give me now a trance to love!
Give me now a chance to be.
