Array ( [sid] => 78837 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => All is not not lost [time] => 2005-01-07 08:13:56 [hometext] => I feel this poem is nostalgic in it's tone. What does this poem mean to you? What's it about? It was inspired by a piece of music. [bodytext] =>
The sun has stopped shining now,
The rosy haze has gone.
It’s time for the world to put you to sleep,
to desensitize what was always thought right.
Climb up into bed. Get up off the floor.
The moon doesn’t light the dreams anymore.
The pavement’s a metallic grey.
Stop. Begin again. Do not pass go...

Innocence is ignorance and ignorance is bliss.
No one saw it coming, it hit them
like a bolt in the blue.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Yesterdays don’t matter.

Now enjoyment manifests in the form of
faceless nothings.
They said it was where it all started. It was
But it‘s started again once more.
Don’t dwell on what’s happened.
It won’t happen again...

They say it’s a web. Don’t believe what they say
Though, you can see it, quite plainly
laid out in a maze?
All around you.
Slowly killing all that was once about you.
Green is not green. Blue isn’t blue.
The sky is the sky.
is it you?

It’s all neatly mapped out , with the off roads, the highways, a key
But no lock.
Why not go anywhere, be shown the way to
more constant droning.
To the industrial humming of the world flying past ...

To me, this has a somewhat dark tone that mixes with other emotions. Reminds me of life and how it twists and turns along with the highs and lows.

Which musical piece inspired this?

peace

this is so deep I see many meanings here.

Life in general then once you think its all figured out you realize that you had nothing figured out at all.

certain ppl telling us all what is black and white right and wrong but finding out your own truths and beliefs along the way

Time stops for noone live in each moment learn from past but dont dwell in it look forward to the future but dont fear it live your life and grow....... sorry I could go on and on

this is a great piece and I bet Im not even close lol do tell which song inspired this one? Pm me if you like and tell me if I was close thats why I love poetry so much there could be so many meanings to ones work of art.......
