Within My Wisdom

Within My Wisdom

Ancient dreams
still dance
through my eyes
amid each fragile moment
that passes me by, faster than
the wind in winter..

Although it seems like the world
has changed but
the dreams are standing yet-

for I still long for them

I do not build cities
nor do I move mountains
with a blink of an eye

but each tear I shed
turns to be a glimpse
for something eternal

Each move I make swirls
through your vision as
the most magnificent
chaos you ever
saw within the darkness
of your heart

Each step you take
leads you again toward
one of my old dream lands..
To conquer, to revive
the spirit of your house

I do not write history
but each word I say
pulls your name into
the pages of my book..
Each book I finish
opens new roads for
a second life..
A new decade
A new world

Where you no longer exist

I do not do magic but
within my ancient dreams
I see you like a lonely mountain
whispering for the wind..
Staring along the seas of void
as I live for the moments
of clarity

Although I do not light the forests at night
nor I hail the spirits of the dead.
But I have immortal dreams..
Emerging from my past, toward my future
Flowing; unlike you amid each fragile
moment that passes me by like the wind
in winter

for I still long for them
Where you no longer exist-

Within my own wisdom..

    Something about the wording of this kept me reading, kept me interested. It had a strong opening, describing dreams and desires in an original way. I liked the tone and pace too, I think you get away with not having much puntuation as it is as if you are speaking. Nice read

    This an amazing poem! You did a really great job!! You have a very strong vocabulary. You words just sucked me right in. (I'm not sure if you saw the comments I gave Britt but like i said: ) I don't really enjoy writing free verse but You have done a wonderful job captivating me with your words.

    This is my favorite line:

    Although I do not light the forests at night
    nor I hail the spirits of the dead.
    But I have immortal dreams..
    Emerging from my past, toward my future
    Flowing; unlike you amid each fragile
    moment that passes me by like the wind
    in winter

    ^I could clearly picture this in my head and you did such a great job choosing each word oh so carefully.

    Great Job, Keep it up!

    "nor I can move mountains"
    - nor do i move mountains sounds better i reckon

    "with the blink of an eye"
    - I dont think this part is really necessary, it kind of sounds awkward being there.

    That third last stanza about the forest in the night really blew me away nana! Such a strong ending to this piece! Great work!!
