The Brighter Side of Naked

by Maple Tree   Apr 24, 2013


I had nothing upon the day
of birth, rising from a hinted
sunshine gaze, rising to achieve
greatness in a world that scorched
dreams upon tattered shoes.

    Love this...we are all born naked and it's up to us thereafter...it might not come in an instant...I had the tattered shoes myself but they made me think...these are the foundation of the rest of my life...if I do well I can possibly afford better ones and...now that I can ..I still buy my loffers from K-Mart...it's about how we judge ourselves..not how others judge us?

    This is so pretty. There's a typo in the title. I think you meant "Brighter" and not "Birghter" :)

    This is really beautifully written. It's so light, and visual. Very simple, and always lovely.

    "rising from a hinted sunshine gaze" just gave me such a peaceful feeling. This whole poem did, but I am particularly fond of that line. This is so good, Andrea. :)

    Beautifully written once again! I really enjoyed this, it shows the lovely innocence of birth and the first steps into the world. Just amazing.
