Notes About The Poem

- Oblivion -

~ oblivion - an assault against the memories ~ 
                                                                quote by poet

           the tears dried before the sun rose
           return the grief on paper wings
           let everything fly lost in the blue sky
           ~ no time to hesitate
           though in terrible wonder
                              ~ oblivion as distracts
           a place completely without a facade
           passion never touches her string
           ~ an evanescent illusion
                "if you need me, call and I'll come"
           in the paleness of the moonlight she waits

It would be wonderful if somebody from oblivion would wait and then come right back, Anne-Lise. A poem that is really well written. Best of luck,

Wow I felt oblivious devotion, and unhappiness subsided by the hope offered by a new day. Don't tell me I am wrong, cause your poem sent me to oblivion and back and I like it that way. Excellent writing Ann-Lise. You are a master of saying a lot in a few words. That is a talent. Best wishes Wen.
