[hometext] => Forgive, forget, and fly away.
[bodytext] => Upon that sallow sunset in a sleepy summer’s stream We met in hapless countenance and stalwart maple’s splay A sugar-coated river rolling sugar-coated dreams Yet somehow little messenger, you didn’t run away I never knew what jewel it was that twinkled in your eye An cobalt call to confidence, a bond no words could tie Your carefree step inveigled all the wisdom as it lie The question never passed your mind— You knew that you could fly. And therefore in the sunny glade, harsh words were born to me In silent stare the daylight spilt across the vision’s sea A pool of golden, rolling blades, upon the golden stream, You taught the truth that all you wish Is all you’ll never be. And dreams will bear each wistful soul to castles in the air Escapist claims to royalty deliver au contraire A shattered child of blinded hope demised beyond repair And yet you say that none of that was ever even there. In songbird’s tuneless melodies and nature’s fresh naïve A note of truth irreverent no reason could deceive In harmony with gratitude, in step with leafy sleeves You taught that in the flood of life There isn’t time to grieve And I never knew, despite my tries, To see what jewel beset your eyes To see what gift had given thee thy mirth ('Fore sugar-coated river and the sugar-coated streams Although you never thought of it your wings set free my dreams) You skittered left, and spread, bereft The chasm to you but a cleft You flew away in giving to this earth. "Nothing is yours that you ask for; in letting go, you truly possess." ~A Sparrow [comments] => 7 [counter] => 338 [topic] => 42 [informant] => EternitysLyre [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 29 [ratings] => 6 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => mythology )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
