The Sun Dance Of The Future.

[Guest (Lightsider)]

For tomorrow my life changes

It was night for so long.

Now comes the breaking dawn.

The rays break across the mountains.

Ever so warm.

Lost time for ever gone, but the future is mine.

The sun dances across my skin

Electrifying future.

Lost precious souls along the way.

The yellow glow so bright.

Mysteries lie ahead.

Pain and tears this path was paved.

Light glistens across the water.

The future is fluid and ever changing.

The past trickled with blood.

The sun illuminates the path now.

The darkeness is now in the past.

Left behind; childish fears.

The cobble stone road before me sparkless.

The dark forest behind me fold in upon it'self.

Buried in peace, left behind.

The light so shines upon your gravestone.

Moving on, living a life. Shame left behind.

You shall not be forgotten.

In a few hours time, life will never be the same.

Wings spreed wide; will be free. A life lost, now reclaimed.

A true journey...

....will have just begun.

You are still with in, always.

Watching from above you are.

Come live inside of me as some one new.

I know you are my angel watching over my life. Till we meet again.

Pretty, very nice, and a touch dark? I think it fits here though.

Yes there is a touch of dark. This poem is based on a painting I did shortly after my mothers death in 2002. The oil painting is a very dark night time landscape over looking a vast haunting mountain range. The painting while beautiful, told how I felt inside. Not only over the death of my mother but the shock I felt over the murder of Gwen. But none of the stanzas refer to Gwen directly. The gravestone is that of my young trans friend who took her own life in 2008.

...and there is more to it which I will not go into at this time. It is 90 percent a positive poem. If it were a song the tone would be like the song called Defying Gravity. If I were to paint that same landscape today, it would be illuminated with the sun.

I am glad you liked it. I know others have too. It is kind of hard to comment on a poem when it it vague. ;-)

Alright, this was my interpretation:

Reading the poem, there was a constant feeling of sadness, but in the retrospective sense. Looking forward, there seems to be a sense of relief, almost impatience. All in all, excited for the future, but not without remembering the past. I think this poem captures a good, balanced mindset, where what has happened and what is to come is wrapped up together in a single moment. It's a very interesting state of thought and I think you nailed it with this piece. Great work.
