Psimon Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 This life ***************** Full of hope and tragedy a slapstick, steady comedy. Just illusion raggedly twisting lives aggrievedly. Once a heartbroke, well spun farce, collective with reason sparse. Then constructed, chaos passed, yet again brought to impasse. From this well emotion springs while to the sides convention clings, holding back from tender things, as 'spirit' soars on soft, white wings Reality then takes a bite, and grips us firm with all it's might. It makes us feel somewhat contrite for overstepping bounds polite We slowly return to our mark Our conscience pricked, bite worse than bark. It gives us pause lest we remark, "We're strolling gaily through the dark" For such a phrase just will not do! It shows emotions shining through, and brings our feelings into view. It's causing hope to bloom anew! But strain and struggle as we may, life drags us down, our hopes dismayed. And so I must leave this soiree to trudge through yet another day.
Parmenion Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 Moved and paced exceptionally well. Begins with an objective observation of life and ends bringing it all back down to the individual. Excellent - I enjoyed this one immensely!
