Array ( [sid] => 25331 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => ''Somewhere in between'' [time] => 2003-10-19 09:06:06 [hometext] => It seems a bit lacking somehow, and a part of the poem isn't original. But it was just so fitting. My apologies for those who recognize the resemblance. [bodytext] => Tree-swaying breezes caressing his cheeks
He stood against the night
Alone on the rooftop, the world was his keep
And the moon was ever-so-bright

A hand crept up high
Reaching out, far
His gaze swept the sky,
Embracing the stars.

His eyes sparkled brightly as his thoughts swirled about him
As personality and starlight were one
And soon he faded into the mists
—As he became the night—

For once in his whole life
Fate followed his will
A small smile curled across his lips
And the ticking of time stood still

Relinquishing knowledge
Renouncing emotion
He gave up his world in
—Eternal devotion—

A small chuckle echoed as his hands became air
And his body diminished from sight
And soon he was fading into the mists
—As he became the night—

Eyes closed, he recollects
Of days and nights so dear
Of dreams and hopes he wished he’d fulfilled
Now as his end drew near

The wind pressed against him
Chilling his face
The stars twinkled high above
Disappearing untraced

His mouth smiles soundlessly as his hair turned to shadow
And his clothing was one with the sky
And soon he was fading into the mists
—As he became the night—

The moon drifts up slowly
Each moonbeam a gift
An object for parting souls
As they surmounted the rift

So much had happened
The years in between
His past was a world apart
Hidden deep within dreams

His eyes sparkled as his voice gave way
Joining the wind's cool whispers
And soon he too faded into the mists
—As he became the night—

Time urges him onward,
But he stands unmoved
He wasn’t the child that he use to be
Now that he’d learned the truth

The essence of living
To exit in peace
To leave this world with no regrets
With clouds as white as fleece

His eyes sparkled one last time
As a new star in the sky shone bright
And soon he faded into the mists

—sparkling—chuckling—smiling—

As he became the night

Tree-swaying breezes caressing his cheeks
He stood against the night
Alone on the rooftop, the world was his keep
And the moon was ever-so-bright

A hand crept up high
Reaching out, far
His gaze swept the sky,
Embracing the stars.

His eyes sparkled brightly as his thoughts swirled about him
As personality and starlight were one
And soon he faded into the mists
—As he became the night—

For once in his whole life
Fate followed his will
A small smile curled across his lips
And the ticking of time stood still

Relinquishing knowledge
Renouncing emotion

—Eternal devotion—

A small chuckle echoed as his hands became air
And his body diminished from sight
And soon he was fading into the mists

Eyes closed, he recollects
Of days and nights so dear
Of dreams and hopes he wished he’d fulfilled

I decided to go and read through your older posts...and stumbled across this gem. This is just downright beautiful, imbued with that perfect blend of personal feelings and true poetic art.

Truly,
