Every day
January 9, 2013
All a blur
Like a dream
Softly sing
Like a scream
Voices fade
Lights do dim
Pieces lay
Broken limbs
Far away
Icing’s cake
Sickly sweet
Slither snake
I pray one day
I pray
Every day
And it happens
It sinks in
Real becomes true
Suction’s power
Overtakes the glum
We all can sing
To the sun
The sun
Because it is
All a blur
Like a scream
Softly sings
Like a dream
Voices fade
Lights do dim
Pieces lay
Broken limbs
Under the sun
We bathe in the sun
We pray for sunlight
And sleep through the night
Still under the sun
Oh
Under the sun

I like this, but It dosn't run very smoothly when you have it rhy e in some lines and not in others.

Wow. The repetition in this just works perfectly. I also love how there's meaning, meaning that's veiled but not hidden by the words. The meaning gets richer every time you read it. It's like panning for gold (which, believe it or not, I've actually done before...) Sometimes the most beautiful things have a hint of tragedy, and I think that's what you've created here. Beautiful, uplifting, stunning, tragedy. I'm a fan :)
