Notes About The Poem

Another Personality

I am me, is true
I have always been me
I have always been, not me
emotions folded into one

Wine sets mind free
to not be me
exploring contemplations
buried deep

Id tell you a story
Id tell it to you true
I shall you tell stories when I am blue
I now let the other speak

Sadness is a friend
a companion for all of life
meteors falling
illumining this friend of mine

She
medieval dancer
enthralled in rhythmic trance
she sings in embers whispers

He can not speak
he can not walk
his mind musical
he is also me

Child, hunger in black forest
when dusk arrives
and creatures sleep
he dances his fears away

Friends
all for one, one for all
friends, till the universe
turns out the lights

such is the dance of life, art...we go from happiness to loneliness and live somehow with the truth that part of us is lonely... simply engrossing!...huggs

Beautiful stanza- Sadness is a friend/ a companion for all of life/ meteors falling/ illumining this friend of mine /// Fine Arts are always epoch making - which is tuning here purely

Every single state of heart, mind and soul there is a "me"! The "me" of the past, the present, the future.. the "me" in "trance" that transcends the one you are familiar with.. with every single beauty, whim, pain and bliss a new and different "me" emerges! A profound work of art, mind and "me"! A FAV. for its uniqueness and beauty.. my deepest regards Arthur.
