Day Dreaming

Day Dreaming

Rampant confusion through dreams that cry
Tasteless diffusion causes me to sigh
Ignorantly roping the stars that fall
Blissfully hoping to see them all

Only the earth's shadow cast at night
Reveals to me these points of light
Infinite celestial suns in open spaces
Too far away to shed light on our faces

Order from chaos illuminate from the dark
As the effect of time leaves its eternal mark
Mind in matter or is it the matter in the mind
That compels us to search for the truth we find?

If I cannot reach heaven let heaven come to me
When I look past the clouds blue sky is all I see
Turn from the sun as the earth does, it is just a way
To dream of the hopeful future of a new day

    ^^ these words are so beautifully penned... deep and powerful ... something to ponder on ... I read this stanza so many times and each time the feeling it conveys become strong ...

    "When I look past the clouds blue sky is all I see

    "Infinite celestial suns in infinite spaces"
    - It makes sense, it fits, all of the above. Except.. I don't like it. I don't like the repeated 'infinite' in the same line. Not a bad line though. Eh

    "Mind in matter or is it the matter in the mind"
    - This line I do like (: I figured I'd let you know, because it is repeated and I still like it.
    And, there was one other line with 'heaven' repeated but it wasn't bad either. I guess since 'infinite' was as powerful as it was that it didn't sound right to me

    Overall a great poem. Well written, great flow, all of the above. Err. Not overall, it is a great poem. Period. It's great. I loved it. Absolutely.
