**I enjoy the happy rainbowness. This is the ending to my anthology. It rounded up "And so the world burns" the first poem, followed by "All hope is lost" and so on.
Today
Today was a day,
it was entirely like no other.
The skies were blue,
and the clouds were white.
The rivers were clean,
and rainbows in sight.
Was it strange,
that joy was so easily attained?
Why was it that the waters of life,
flowed free and unhindered,
to the natural world around?
It was quite a sight to behold.
Ancient enemies,
of the ancient world passed,
dropped their blades,
and embraced one another,
I felt so honored,
to witness the fantastic.
The impossible came reality,
and the world took to the sky,
on a flight of fancy.
It was truly a spectacle,
never told before,
but one for history.
Today was a day,
that changed so very much.
Monkeys became men,
and heathens were redeemed.
Cities were covered in gold,
to memorialize this day.
Dreams are lined,
in the silvery rays,
of the Sun ever shining,
above the world now quiet,
no longer fearing the fires of war
to reclaim their lives.
Today was a day,
unlike all others.
It was a day of peace and quiet.
A day of such changing emotion.
The world was moving,
but the hate was frozen.
Today was the day,
I stopped holding on,
to my perverted views,
and psychotic self righteousness.
The arrogance flooded away,
and the dark was lifting.
Today was the day,
all veils were tossed aside.
And the world looked upon us.
A smile was now on its face.
Might I take your hand,
so we can waltz together into its light.
wow, this is good ^^
ReplyDeleteSpectacular.
ReplyDeleteYou lay before me an image seemingly indescribable of an event equally indescribable with an impression that you tried your best to describe it anyway.
I can't help but note the alliteration used, I truly am a fan of alliteration.
The feeling I get is one of an emerging spring, life is returning to the world, and peace overflowing.
A sight spectacular to envision, and you translated it so.
Much liked was the end, how better to embody a sense of real peace than with a smile and waltz? Befitting to any classic Disney movie.
