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. ^^
Wow, this was a really deep piece of writing. I think I read each line and then paused for a good two minutes to interpret it. It reminds me of memories and the past. I especially love the first two lines, they're a lot different then something that's normally written. Good work!

I am a relatively new writer who is, in my eyes, just starting to be heard by those around me. I have no reputation, nor do I really seek one. I am here to share my writing. I am also looking at the p.. more..
