    Poem Commentary

    I haven't written anything in a while (I wouldn't call it writer's block, more like writer's distraction), so I've been seaching Images all morning, and saw this one, and here's what I wrote.

    Dive

     

    Confined to the surface

    of laws and rules,

    conforming to the ways

    of patterns and schools,

    am I destined for greatness

    or being led by fools?

     

    I search for reality

    in the core of illusion,

    I shuffle through the masses

    fighting fear and confusion,

    no room to move

    I yearn for seclusion.

     

    The limits of gravity

    I willingly defy,

    hoping for a glimpse

    of creations eye,

    I conquer my fear

    and dive into the sky.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
