    Poem Commentary

    It's been a while since I've posted something new, but here it is. This just came to me today as I was outside watching my niece play. I'm strange, I know.

    Dream Unto Eternity

    Footsteps fall heavy as I approach the dais,

    Sounding so solemn in the vastness of quiet

    As I step under the cold light of redemption,

    I find myself stripped of my every pretension.

    And all that remains is the core of my soul

    Released from the wretchedness, ragged but whole

    I sleep now to await my dreaming in lieu

    Of forsaking false visions seeming so true

    Now, under the cold light that surely preserves me

    I will keep dreaming until I find Eternity.

    Thank you very much! ^_^

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
