Walking

by Lady Nik   Oct 17, 2009


I woke up early to
experience the morning world.
For so long I have
let moments pass me by
as I live my life behind
closed eyelids.
Never again...
My eyes are open
and I can see clearly.

Faces are no longer blurred
but have become
a permanent piece of my existence.
With every face comes
a name and with every name
comes a delicate story.
I will remember the words
you speak to me
for they shall help me
live on when death strikes
your heart and makes it cold.

I wanted to walk today
to see what lies beneath the grass
to wonder what hides
behind those bushy white clouds.
I may never find out
then again I may already know.

I see places that have always been
but were just mere shapes
to my brown eyes.
Now that I have a new meaning
I can see their importance.
Stars are not just yellow lights
and raindrops are not just
sky fallen tears...

Everything matters now
Everything will always matter.

I wasn't hoping to discover
something or recover
an old flame.
My only purpose was to walk.
I wonder where the wind will take me...

*A little random I know lol...it just came to me :) *

    I agree with Cayce. It was a very great write, and makes one realize that they should actually open their eyes to see the world around them. Did that make sense? I hope it did. xD

    This piece is interesting and seems just like your thoughts tossed on paper. At times seems random and complicated and messy, but perfect in a way because thats how thoughts are. I loved the poem for the most part and wouldn't change much, but there was a part near the end of the first stanza.

    "

    "let moments pass me by
    as I live my life behind
    closed eyelids.
    Never again...
    My eyes are open
    and I can see clearly".

    Your poem doesn't rhyme almost at all and theres nothing wrong with that, but I think when you can chance a couple words around to give it more flow its always a good idea. So I would maybe say...

    let moments pass me by
    as I live my life behind
    these blind eyes
    never again
    my eyelids are open
    and I can see clearly now.

    Don't even have to change it really just a segestion haha great job though 5/5 GG23

    'as I live my life behind'
    ^I think you meant to say 'lived'

    'I wanted to walk today
    to see what lies beneath the grass'
    ^This was really interesting..kind of a mystery.

    'I can see their importance.
    Stars are not just yellow lights
    and raindrops are not just
    sky fallen tears...

    Everything matters now
    Everything will always matter.'
    ^Very nicely done. Powerful lines especially the last two here. They convey a powerful message.

    This poem was really interesting. It sounds like you are rather confident and optimistic about the future and what is to come.

    Well done.
