Array ( [sid] => 64545 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => What Was Meant To Be [time] => 2004-09-20 23:14:52 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I closed my eyes,
Upon my world,
And fell away to dreams.

The darkness of my days,
Was soon replaced,
By the light,
That burns within my hope.

Soon I touched,
The silky white,
And drew it far away.
And what I saw,
What I beheld,
Was a window to my soul?

And when it opened,
I heard my song,
And felt my breath exhale.
For came the moment,
Within my life,
When I finally understood.

That all I'd sought,
Was not for me.
And for to long,
I’d played the fool.

So I chose to stop,
And take my place,
There, within the scene.
And stand upon,
The sandy beach,
Of what was meant to be.

What Was Meant To Be

Hello again,

This poem seems to be a bit more reflective into the inner you. I read it a couple of times and I truly like it. Of course, you know how much I like your work. I visited your site again a while back looking for the 3rd poem to your epic. I can't wait... I have forwarded your website so others can read work. You are a Master Story Teller... As I've said before, I wish I had your vision and ability to write the way you do. Good job!

Take Care,
J~

Thank you.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
