into the still.

[rewiiired]

Slip deep
into the still
know I will
I know I will
see the light you hide from me
face the truth that chases me
cleanse the soul, through and through
bridge the space between me and you

Deep in the dusk
I know I trust
the shadows lurking in the mist
in the night I find my way
in the morning I remain

these weren't wasted years
bear the ugly stain of tears
I'll find her, a long lost breath
find the warmth in her caress

as we're juggling
what we know
on the teeter-totter,
to and fro
where the edge of the land
meets the decent into sea
I trust the water cleanses me

Thought I was lost here
for all time
thought I broke my back
lost my spine
couldn't taste a flavor
I was going blind
but the clouds will part
before the Time

and as
I slip deep
into the still
know I will
I know I will

as I jump into the sea
staring right into `my enemy'
the face ripples, blurs,
then it parts...
thought I lost my mind,
thought I broke my heart
I felt like a corpse
like their world was
a house of cards...

when it tumbles down
you'll take my hand, we'll walk around
I'll know what it means to be here
without anger, without fear

then I can make my choice
then you'll finally hear my voice
till then, why must you scream?
bathe in experience, live this dream.

Rewiired - a little lighter than most of your poems, but powerful all the same. This one carries a feeling of tangible hope and belief that the future will be brighter than the present. I enjoyed reading it (as usual )

Thanks to you both... starfalls, the water element seems to hang in the background of my mind a lot when I write poetry, and I'm glad you felt it... and thank you, too, smileyfish, but to set the record straight, this poem's not about hopes for the future being brighter (I'm still a fatalist in regards to the human future for reasons that most wouldn't understand) as much as the hope of finding a way to see the beauty in life in spite of `where things are going'... what I think can be best described as a new hope for a coming solace. Hopefully that makes sense...
