I wrote this today in class. It was inspired by this picture: http://ananyah.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/03/falling-man.jpg Life is never silent and in stillness we find movement. I listen to the image, without words it speaks to me, After all, the only real language I know is to feel. Remember, forget and remember again. Do we ever learn? With open eyes my thoughts start to race. A ten second journey: Going down, Crash And start traveling again. Our destiny has been chosen but we can still decide how we get there. Do you accept or do you look for a breath of fresh air? You blink as the immense gray disappears. Life doesn’t stop; it turns and moves, in the right direction of course. An anonymous image, An instant of grace, An expression of life in illusionary pause. Some close their eyes because they think of what's coming next? A known stranger even with eyes shut, its existence still makes you feel. [font="]Wake up, wake up, we've been sleeping for too long.[/font]
The best! This is my favorite writing by you Iliana. The feeling of compassion you put by us with telling us to wake up and start moving is how I felt about knowing of your innocence and beauty of the moments you took to right this. So much beauty, innocence, and fragile state is put forth in your taking the time to make a writing like this, and this poetry is so free and open. My favorite!
this is a gorgeous poem with a lot of feeling..i like that it was inspired by a powerful photo. great job
