Mindless Illusion of Thought - 08-03-05

Revelation

Walking through the darkness past
Fingertips stride across cold pale walls
Transforming memories through frosted windows
Watching time burn and freeze to sudden motion
Blowing the dust from many books of tears
Following footsteps through the pains of life
A flame adjusts to every movement in the air
A mouth once sewn shut takes its first gasp of life
Wandering pages upon pages with open eyes
Facing the reflection of a child against an image of a woman
Blood that once ran thick with hatred and selfishness
Reside beneath the scars of age and forgiveness
One by one the stories become lessons for life
A story written through the eyes of the beholder
A heart once broken now mended with wisdom
The river of tears has long been dried up
Desperation is but a figment of imagination
Overcoming the past is the worst nightmare
Strife and redemption is your only revelation

Mindless Illusion of Thought © Dalynda R. Baker

how did i miss this last time i was here? bah!


wheeeew... i gotta say, you come back strong. this is one of the best i've ever seen you write.

take you a while to feel strongly about something again?

this is different from your previous things. it's full of redemption, healing. it's a wonderful new look, and i have to say it lifts the soul to read it. well, that's how it seemed to me, anyway...

a part of me was dissapointed, waiting for that tactile memory you could always bring about... but, this is different. this is better? ::shrug:: i don't know... but i like this.


if I can make just nine people a day stare at me in abject horror and confusion... i think i've done my job.

there are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those that can read binary, and those that can't.

you know what? i still want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket. (%)

Strong imagery, but the rhythm was akward. Hard to determine if you are trying to be profound, uplifting, or both. Strong Christain overtone shows a commitment to faith.

Hooah!!

anywho, has for the poem itself.....purdy good....strong imagery, some nice lines.....some areas seemed a little force.....my only suggestion is that i'd like to see some more poetic devices bein' used....some internal rhymes, off rhymes, alliteration, etc......but overall, purdy good

Okay...

Just out of curiousity? What's up with the Hooah thing? You've said that twice.

Revelation

Walking through the darkness past
Fingertips stride across cold pale walls
Transforming memories through frosted windows
Watching time burn and freeze to sudden motion
Blowing the dust from many books of tears
Following footsteps through the pains of life
A flame adjusts to every movement in the air
A mouth once sewn shut takes its first gasp of life
Wandering pages upon pages with open eyes
Facing the reflection of a child against an image of a woman
Blood that once ran thick with hatred and selfishness
Reside beneath the scars of age and forgiveness
One by one the stories become lessons for life
A story written through the eyes of the beholder
A heart once broken now mended with wisdom
The river of tears has long been dried up
Desperation is but a figment of imagination
Overcoming the past is the worst nightmare
Strife and redemption is your only revelation

unless i'm wrong, it's an army thing. my buddy Chrapla says it all the time--or, did when he was in the service.

Hey! Just cause I'm not good... shouldn't mislead you that I'm not a girl!


And I'd appreciate it if you didn't *pat* me Doktor. That makes me angry.
