Matthew Anish Poet Ode

First Dawn

Legends about the beginnings of time
have kept people mesmerised for many millenia
The galaxies exsisted long before
humans came on the scene
   They will continue to exsist after we are gone
Countless generations have chased
    after the ultimate knowledge
Perhaps the answers we seek 
   like within our fragile forms
The inner world is a microcosm 
    of the vast cosmos 
There is more depth in us 
than is commonly realized!
Let comets pass by with their firey tales
we will not be without hope
    even at the end of
            all things
For our short stay 
             on earth 
will be crowned with 
       blazing light 
    if we keep ourselves 
      ready for the 
answers 
    which dawn has offered us 
         since the beginning
way back 
          before the globe we live on
    first began to spin 
around that ball of light 
we name the sun

Carol Eastman July 17, 2011 at 10:16 PM Very well written. Inspirational and story like. You might try an epic. Add the immediate emotions and actions to the story. It'll give your poems more depth, even tho they're already good.

Caroline Cécile Delacroix June 6, 2011 at 4:50 PM Well done, Matthew, and yes, the answers are within us, but sometimes we need to hear them from outer to have them resonate with our inner being. Great job with this write! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the comments on Spring-Fest. I don't know if you saw my soupmail to you about publishing. I did send you one. I am done with the book after many a editing. So now, I have to deal with the publishing face. Still thinking of self publishing. Love and peace to you too, Caroline.
