Above the Snow

by ChrisT   Jun 25, 2012


There's a mess in my head
That I'm slowly fighting to change
With endless sweat and red
There's too much to arrange
The strain of it never ending
Tears at my every being
My sanity it is rending
With all the trouble seeing
Where I am heading in all this
What I am going to do
I know there is no ending bliss
Or no happiness to pursue
Still I fight to clean it all up
Knowing it is pointless
That I should just give up
But that sounds too careless
Someday soon though
I would have you know
That the high branch will bow
And my feet will dangle above the snow

    I love the set up for the poems. You end the poem very strong:

    "Someday soon enough
    I would have you know
    That the high branch will bow
    And my feet will dangle above the snow"

    I love these lines. keep it up.

    Great pace to this, flows very nicely, It almost gets sadder as you read on.
    Its a great depression poem, depicts the mind of somebody battling their own demons.
    I like the last line the best.

    As an alternative meaning to the last line it could be read as somebody who doesn't want to be pure. Snow is seen as a pure substance nice clean and crisp and sparkling white. To want to dangle above suggest you are not sure you fully want to tread this path.

    Just what I get from this, I may be wrong.

    Nice write and good rhyming.

    Beautifully written. The flow is just amazing as you go through. The imagery is amazing as well. But it is incredibly sad too... :(
