Array ( [sid] => 44236 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Cycle [time] => 2004-04-22 03:19:02 [hometext] => This is more like a philosophical poem. Don't we repeat the same pattersn over and over again in life? [bodytext] => Under silenced greyness
I form circles
Great and small
What I do
Is inside me
What I feel
Is nothing
But a clear perspective
Of what was, is and will be

As green as the grass is
Darkened by the daily veil
I am blue again
As I open my eyes
For a hidden sunrise
As I set my first steps
Hesitating, on the beaten road

My lungs are filled
With fresh air
That opens windows *like the clouds*
To remove the cobwebs
Once again
Goosebumps rise on my skin
Annoying and thrilling
Like popping memories *of the sun*

The day passes
As I sing and grow
In full schwung
That's what I am
I just go
In the zone
With this comfortable flow

I falter
As the golden shine
In my mind
Is quenched
By stealing reality
The path begins to wind
I shiver in rhytmic chill
As I come full circle

I like it, there's a lot of truth in here, and the beautiful but dark imagery helps heighten the intensity of the poem as well.

Hurretje you have written a very good rather philosophical poem. I enjoyed my read. May I ask are you Dutch or from Dutch descent? Your name suggests to me that you are from Holland. Beautiful country that I was priveledged to see many years ago. Thanks for a good read.

bernard.

Interesting. I love the line about "stealing reality." A very insightful and enjoyable write.

This was interesting. I found it sad and forlorn yet beautiful with dark images. Very well done.

Hur, this is excellent. It's a sad write though. You write well my friend. *S* Cynthia
