A shadow in the wind

by The Poet Behind The Poems   Mar 4, 2013


Along the misty canal path, leaves
blow in the autumn winds while my
bare feet linger in decayed gravel.

I can taste the beauty that rises
from the earth yet nothing seems
familiar to my senses.

Horses are replaced by mechanical
substitutes, mysterious cellular devices
control our entire way of thinking.

Through the years I've seen the world
evolve, Im frozen, a mirage to the
human eye,a shadow in the wind.

    I adore the first stanza, using nature to set the scene... the decayed gravel gives it a hint of darkness in this piece.

    From what I read, this is a piece about technology taking over... replacing the past and evolving into bigger things. Changing the world into a technology dependent universe...which of course, is true.

    Nice ending!

    What an interesting topic....Honestly I don't find this to be dark or side, I'd almost place it in the "life" section.

    I agree with Saffie this seemed different from your normal style and I actually really liked it. You usually write deep, twisted wording poetry, this was very simple, a short poem about technology taking over the future...interesting to say the least.
