~ Hiding Behind The Eclipse ~
{sanity's edge}
I'd always,
(always)
Longed to step out
From behind the sun,
To reveal myself
To myself,
In orbit
Around quixotic ideas
(and years)
Of creativity
Left behind me, in a trail
(a dime-store novel)
Of glistening bread crumbs
That led me back
(to classical notations)
To the poetry of me,
Of me and my life
As I began
To pick up tiny pieces,
And to work hard
At puzzling them back
Together again...
I started to teach myself
(to myself)
And began to appreciate
What I had done,
Even though
I hadn't done it
Purposefully,
I had (really) become
That which I had been
Frightened of becoming...
An artist
With forgotten words
Strewn across the fabric
Of a very long
Effort,
And now
(finally)
I see my self
Emerging
From
Behind the sun...
Fist, clenched,
The after-birth
Bursting from beneath
The surface
Of sanity's edge
(the eclipse of my life)
That most heavy tattoo
That I have painted
Upon the very heart of me,
I have carried it
For so long
(this most heavy burden)
That I would happily
Bare it again,
Into the realm
Of the sun
And the moon's
Magical kiss
(which sadly I missed)
While hiding,
Happily,
Behind the eclipse...

Hey sweet C!!....you're right about this piece paralleling somewhat my own life's path...... but I was trying to convey a guy trying to maintain his own sanity....... smiles...... guess I failed.... truth is..... when I look at yours and Jills impressions it becomes quite obvious that I didn't do a good job at bringing my idea to fruition!!,,,,,,thanx for this sweetheart!!....... you're too groovy!!........ kisses!!.........T xo. : )
