Indecisive

Where am I today
Confusion lies
Somewhere in between
The Earth and skies

Harmony reigns above
Chaos down below
Astral projection’s view
Lets me see the show

Dare I attempt to rise
Higher through clouds
Or should I rejoin
The numb-stricken crowds

Who endured the pain
Unable to take more
Then donned their masks
Oblivious to gore

I cannot decide
Just hover in a void
Both hurt and bliss ignore
And closure I avoid

U.A. Mir Date: 8/22/2010 5:46:00 PM Very much enjoyed the pace and tension used in the poem, not forgetting the vision of the poetry itself. I would love for you to read my poem "The Tide" which in my opinion takes a similar tone to this great piece! Kind Regards U.A Mir Login to Reply
