Sights

An old quatrain that I wrote years ago. It was written to show the duality of perspective through imagery and deeper meaning. Everyone obtains something different from this piece. Open to review only.

 

All I see before me is what I’ve seen before.

All I hear above me, I’ve never heard before.

Shadows fall in front of me as sunlight fades behind.

All the things I’ve never known, I always keep in mind.

You're not kidding about deeper meaning. Something tells me that this is about memories... or hopes for the future, perhaps? :P Then again, when I come up with something that matches this poem, a verse squashes it. :P lol. I really like this piece, nonetheless. It's like a really neat puzzle that I actually want to finish! lmao!

"All the things I've never known, I always keep in mind"... That line gave me a revelation (and it's my favorite)! I think I get "Expect the unexpected" out of this entire quatrain! It's the ultimate brain teaser. ^^

Thanks for posting this!

Ironically Yours. Blade and Blood

Haunting. Daunting. Beautiful.

I love your juxtaposition of the known and unknown, and how one can be lost in a melange of both.

This is an interesting poem, even in its shortness it leaves the reader thinking, and its definitely deep. very beautiful write.

This really gets my mind churning.
It makes me really think,
it's both complex and simple at the same time.
I feel longing and a person who's tired of their life,
It's a beautiful piece.

I was positive I reviewed this before. I know I read it and thought how
fast and flowing this little poem was. Concise and intriguing at the same time.

Thank you for submitting this to my "Loneliness" contest.
