    Stowed Away

    My hair flourishes as I chase my shadow on the grass
    My fingers break the sun but move in a distraction
    Like the big hand on a clock wasting time as it passes to the thirty, then to thirty three..
    You feel like calling death

    The air gets lighter with every breath
    The atmosphere is blanketed with puffs of clouds
    I feel like my lungs are being stepped on by a fat guy with the body count of twenty men
    It's hard for me to hold

    My arms are waved out
    I waltz with the world every step I get
    I'm impervious.. at least enough to dodge bullets
    Give it a shot

    The meadow of poppies are lined up like fleets
    Only, they are harmless
    My fury takes off neglecting the night
    I'm stowed away to an encore

    I like what;s going on, but I don't get it. I can digest it in bites, but I fail to see what's going on. Perhaps I need an explanation? anyway, I won;t rate it yet, not until I can get a grasp on it, so I can be fair... so get back to me!

    It's just me expressing what I perceive in the world. Some of what I see is good, and some of it not so good. And instead of putting together a happy ending with a bad beginning or vise versa, I figured since I'm in between a line of good and evil, it should combined. I weigh out the right and wrongs, and because of that, this poem is puzzling.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
