New one inspired by a book passed my way by a similar minded soul. Goodbye to my I Inside and out, my thought screams doubt- In everything I do, every time I find a clue, It's cast away, to the world of I don't know So busy grasping the plot, I miss the whole show. I try to let go, but who am I? I cling to the earth, so how can I fly? I cannot fly, only cling, To a thought, ideal, place or thing. But the doubt is still there, screaming at me. I wish I knew why, I wish I could see. But I cannot see, only review, Though I can't fight the urge to break through. So if I cannot, then goodbye to my I. There will be no life until I die. So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. F#ck I'm still here. For the I said goodbye-it's so chaoticly clear.
If you haven't guessed by now, your question to me, in another thread, led me to your personal page, I'v e been reading through your poetry, quite impressive. I wonder if you are familiar with Pink Floyd's "Learning to Fly"? No matter how many times I hear it, it never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction is holding me fast, How can I escape this irresistible grasp? Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound guilty guy Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything No navigator to guide my way home Unladened, empty and turned to stone My sole intention is learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound guilty guy Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss Can't keep my mind from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound guilty guy I wish for you peace in the "I" of mind, a cessation of pain. sine cera
hmmm.....seems a bit synchronistic that you would mention my favorite song..... i think the words were "just an earthbound misfit I". you're obviously pretty intelligent, so i appreciate your opinion. i think it's about time i find something else to write about, however. thanks for the post.
