Ars Poetica - by Lily

Close Your Eyes

December 16th 2007 09:35

In the middle
Of seventh heaven
And the deep blue sea
This is the defense
Of a hanging soul
A precarious
Tight rope walk
A drawn out night
Around a dying fire
Create the pain
And suffer in deserving
It’s a fading stage
Willing to change
It’s not enough
Under the burning sun
Everybody runs
Set us on fire!



~Lily

Cool poem, Lily .
I know this isn't a poetry tag session, but your poem made me want to write this:

tread these narrow paths
in smoke and in darkness
but not blindly, no.
these feet can see.

Rusty.

feet know
our toes have felt
the earth of many lands

Rusty thank you for sharing your journey speak. i must apologise for taking so long in reply. You are so right, feet can see. Eyes..way-down-there would be helpful oui? I walk by soul-feel Rusty.

Well, in my madness, I recently posted this poem again, not realizing i had already laid it down here. I'll just think of it as an echo, they seem to be everywhere lately.

I hope your New Year is bringing blessings of the brightest kind..
