three minute warning

[Bacchus]

Time, this time;
Passes by,
If I could, but one last fervor,
Take me
to the rivers of belief
To those days of long ago.
Back,
when we were but kids
On a brand new world
Unfettered by the flames
All those winds unfolding,
whirling
Dancing in the moonlight.
As a child?s tear,
We could fall down
In this time,
In this place,
Maybe
We could walk along the bend
Lift the fields
Where
Flowers remain;
Held to resonate
Held to simply be..
Soon it will be morning
Soon we?ll feel the dawn
Scratching at our doorstep
Reaching out
And reaching in
Creature comfort
We shall begin?

yes, I too like the sense of hope in this, especially after reading Bonochick's poem, hope is beautiful all in itself

Do not move
Let the wind speak
that is paradise.

This is a great poem. I can't add too much, "sense of hope" is right on. But I love "the rivers of belief" and the end:

"Soon it will be morning
Soon we?ll feel the dawn
Scratching at our doorstep
Reaching out
And reaching in
Creature comfort
We shall begin?"

Bacchus, you're not Michael Griffiths by chance, are you?

In this place,


Fantastic, Bacchus

Hope just permeates this work. I too like the "rivers of belief". The title is curious, though; I don't really get it yet.

Thanks for your responses y'all, really appreciate it. This one just spilled out onto the screen in about five minutes; love it when it comes that way, yes it does reak of blind ambition and hope eh??

foray:

thanks for your thoughts...
yeah, rivers of belief, love that track; as far as the title is concerned, well, ever set yer stereo's clock to wake you up in the morning??? thats where that comes from, most things can actually be said in three and a half minutes. I used to do that when i was a kid, just leave a tape ready for that dreaded 4:16am wake up call

ARE YOU??!!

hmmm...is he colour blind or something?

I knew a guy once who was colour blind and just after he'd gotten married and moved into a new house, he was sent out by his wife to get a nice, pale, off-white paint for their living room. Well, she wasn't home when he got back, so he decided to go ahead and paint the room as a surprise. Boy, did she get one hell of a surprise when she got home and saw their neon red living room!
