Pass
03.19.05 (10:33 am) [edit]standing watching shadows
pass the time
pointing out some possibilities
taking a chance
on a passing thought
making change for gamblers
spending what they don't have
hoping to make something
from a childs eyes
hoping for frequency
like a song playing
dancing in a spotlight
cast from heavens arms
the world turns again
silently driven by dreams
thrown deep into a well
filling the darkness with sunshine
as we stand watching shadows
pass the time
pointing out some possibilites
to cure our curiosity...

I wrote this poem late lastnight...or early this morning depending on how you look at it. This is the first poem I have written in a couple of months that may have some meaning. Though I am unsure of the exact meaning or structure, I am fairly convinced that it is a happy poem. I guess what I was trying to convey was a sense of understanding about change...some type of metamorphosis in the day to day life of people constantly wishing to be more while understanding that they are more. I don't know. While this is definantly not one of my best nor anywhere close to it, this is an achievement in my eyes because now I know that the Zoloft hasn't completely taken my poetry from me. Afterall, I am still me.
And some may recognize one line that I stole from a GREAT song. My favorite song.

I am a big believer in not having to explain my poetry. :)
It is a good poem. I like it. Of course, I have long since not relished the idea of ever telling someone their poetry is bad, hence my persistent open-net policy in our 'Dirt' endeavor. I am not about to go line-for-line with you. It flows nicely. Its meaning is fairly clear, especially for anyone who has spoken to you at length.
I think you would have to be on a much more drastic med to rob you of your creative spirit. :)

That very well written, you must have been one of those moods where it just pours out... late at night or early in the morning is usually the best time for me also.
Keep up the good blog!
