[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 [comments] => 3 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 48 [informant] => EternitysLyre [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
