The World Will Turn Around Me

a short poem

The clouds have formed above me...

The grass has grown beneath me...

The world has turned around me...

And will always turn again.

If I am in tears or joy,

Or if i am in love or hate,

The world will turn around me.

And I, with it, will turn.

So everything that comes to me

Will also come to pass;

Above me, there have formed the clouds,

Below me, grown the grass.

Author's Note

free verse-esque feel for the first two stanzas
on the third i went straight up literature class poetry

The world doesnt seem to care and we need to find the peace that is inside for others will never share it with us as they dont care

This was an enjoyable read(: and quite original. Haha. This went all flowy and stuff(: Haha. And this brought some odd smile to my face/ I think because I can relate. And the laststanza(So everything that comes to me

Will also come to pass;

Above me, there have formed the clouds,

Below me, grown the grass.)


is one of the ending stanzas I respect the most. Something about it dazes me, and pushes me into thought, but also in some bubbly weird..Felling. If you catch my gist. Very nice read(: Something I've been looking for all over this website(: Bravo!
