Passed Life

In a land of cosmic lullabies A dawn without a sun Where confusion strikes in shadows And light returns the shun Peaceful darkness taking hold Thoughts dissolve away No more warped memorials To tease them where they lay Walking on a salty plain Floating on the wind Life and death exist as one Till lives of old rescind Simple truths unfolding lies All things die alone Until we wake again from love On waves of time unknown The past is all but memory The future - lost in time Entangled in the web of life In dreams before their prime One more life passed to the next One more time to fly One more chance to make amends To live, to love, to die 20-Jul-2015

Love the last two stanzas. Were you speaking of reincarnation here? :-)

Yes, that's definitely one layer of the metaphor. I guess it's also about just being able to step back, let go of the past and start a wonderful, new chapter - full of possibilities. Thank you so much for reading, i hope it painted an interesting picture in your mind :) Kxx

Kaelan Fox, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
