I wonder if it is wise but I guess it is just my time... that is all. [bodytext] => I was born out of immaculate desire
conceived upon the eaves of absolute perfection
fathered by the quickenings of hope
lofty ambition was my birth mother
alas this cumbersome existance
is just a borrowed splendour
a crafty reflection of what I thought
nothing more and none other
what ripples that may
have long since subsided
what echoes that remain
are lost in the distant void
subsumed by the tenors
the bitter notes of fate
the malignant melody of chance
the cold blare of harsh reality
and as the last of my echo bounces
upon the last few surfaces before it vanishes
I lay aside these heavy reins
and let the darkness engulf
as I like my pathetic echoes
subsume into unknown reaches
slowly and slowly ever so slightly
upon fragile winds and delicate vapors
into the embracing silence
of vanishing echoes. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 143 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Baronhawk [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

This was so interesting Baronhawk....I loved your picture also......thanks alot!
The beginning of your poem didn't give me a hint of where you and I would roam!!!
But I'm glad I came with you on this journey...and I was amazed at the end!!!
There is a time for everything under the sun, a time to speak, a time to be quiet, a time to suffer, a time to have peace....when I read your poem, I was thinking this poem also applies to you.....in the end we are what we have lived......it's a process of molding our character and reminds me of a saying by Sree Chakravarti "I think only through suffering all our wonderful human qualities come out in us. Unless and until you suffer, how will you understand other's suffering?"
I truly found your poem amazing!
Thank you for sharing Baronhawk....it was great!
Poetic hugs once again
