Falling Into Life

by Austin   Jul 21, 2008


Drifting through water I found a note.
And on this paper the paladin wrote:
A description of hope, and a memory of fate.
Yet I paddle with fears that await.

My unsunk bottle has become my saint.
But weary I am, and still afraid.
While lightened waters are still faint,
And on dampened wood my head is laid.

My mind ponders so small and bleak
About the angels that I love,
And the savior that I seek.
But still I lay, staring above.

In one instant I realized fate,
And a sinners tear stole my glee.
I now know what must await,
as I fall into the ocean, peacefully.

(C) Austin, 2008

    Yea, wow. You never disappoint.

    I really liked this poem. It too had that cryptic feel to it. It paints a picture but without flat out saying what exactly it is that is happening.

    Your rhyming skills are great and you have amazing word choice. My favorite words were "unsunk bottle" "peacefully" "hope" "dampened wood" and "ponders." Those words were the ones that painted the most in my mind. The line "A description of hope, and a memory of fate." is super genius and really brought the poem to life for me.

    Overall this poem was incredible!
