This is a poem that I came up with by channeling my energies away from procrastination. Enjoy.
***
The wind blows,
Eternally, as far as we know,
Through eons of days and nights,
As lives go out, like lights.
Blowing away the ruins, the pains,
All of the marks we humans have lain.
It is the cleanser, the purifier, the sweeper,
Never in it's mighty task, does it refrain.
Does it scare you,
Does it unnerve you, when you know,
That even after you are gone,
The wind will blow,
It will blow it all away, like we are mayflies,
Except for the memories, of those who know
In their minds, they shall lie.
The wind blows,
Now and forever,
The wind will blow.
***
The first of my Life Lessons Trilogy of Poems. This was inspired by the immortal(ironically) line from Ozymandias " Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair." As it got me thinking, when we're gone, what sort of legacy will we leave behind?
Hope you guys enjoyed it!

Wow....very mind blowing and full of emotion. Epic.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Came up with the idea to write something like this after having that line from Ozymandias bounce around my head," Look upon my work and despair", and then I just kept making it as I kept writing along.Also, I will probably be doing a few more poems, to get my mind away from procrastination.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have returned FMA Vol1 and 2 to the library.
Oh good. BTW whats with the new pseudonym?
Deleteand have you ever read Blue Exorcist?
Mom wanted something more close to my actual name. Also, yes I have read Blue Exorcist and I quite like it,
