This might seem a little feminine, or whatever, but it's symbolism, and I'm cool with it either way.  Tomorrow could be the beginning of much better times ahead, and so I wrote this spur of the moment, while reflecting on stuff. If ya' want, tell me whatcha' think of it, people... It's called "Soul Regains Wings"...
"Soul Regains Wings"
-Rick, "RiCterMan," Strayer, fecit.
I whispered to a butterfly,
one day, some years ago...
I asked it what it's purpose was,
but neither of us could tell.
Then, the branch that it sat on, grew so still,
with the dying summer breeze.
The Earth below, found winter cold,
and I witnessed the loss of wings.
This creature, which I had seen before
became one, that I only once knew.
The image replaying, in mind, showed fire
engulfing it, as it flew.
Like snow, it fell, to my disgust.
What ever killed the joy?
The smile I wore, became a sore,
and later on, a void.
-And in thought, through time, I dreamt of my
diverted days with a cost.
I shivered through nights, with broken lights,
and faceless, I forgot
facts of worth, in soft, summer flights
of those colorful wings that I viewed.
I didn't know, that I let it go,
and, as well, let the cold ensue.
But Spring is upon me,
and change has arrived,
with the outflow of brighter sun.
For the fall of wings,
was not what it seemed;
only false truth observed, left undone.
Tomorrow is nearing,
as I watch branches bloom.
I whisper aloud, under blue sky and clouds,
"I'm here, open-minded.
I'm here, and I've learned.
I'm here and I'm ready,
for the joy to return...."
EnD
I just did a hell of a lot of editing to this... -'twas a tough one. lol. But yeah... The format just came together the way that it is here. It wasn't intended, and I'm not sure at all how good this may be. I hope it was interesting though. Later, everyone...! |
