The Unfinished Poem

A Poem by Mason

Yeah, I found this in the same notebook as "The Universal Color."

My sincerest apologies,

For all my sins,

For all my indiscretions,

For all my limitations.

Cast me into the rain,

To look up at your magnificence,

And drown in the water,

Descending from the air.

A thousand tiny needles,

Piercing my conscience like swords,

More painful than these words,

More painful than these chords.

These chords, which remain so somber,

Rain hides my tears that stream,

As I hear the mighty, rolling thunder,

And it never seems to cease its screams.

This song of storms,

This cry of judgement,

But my life has not reached its end,

And the hours have not grown late.

Time to right my wrongs,

Correct my sins,

Lead my life in peace,

You know what? I actually like that it's unfinished, just like my time in this world.

I like that's it's unfinished as well. There's a point in apologies where enough is said or not enough is said that nothing can be said.If that makes any sense. lol. Trailing off at the end was very poignant, it made me lose myself in thought thinking of all my sins i am sorry for. it really made me think while arousing my curiosity as to what you have to apologize for. hmm. thank you for writing.

At first reading I can't really tell why name it that way only because you never got to finish it. This is one deep writing and it compels me to actually have my own interpretation of it. I had to read it once again before coming with my own version. For me, I think it was better left unfinished because reality entails the cycle of sinning-apologizing-correcting. By not finishing this, it's almost like you implied that the cycle goes on and on, in a never ending cycle. Nice and thought provoking poem.

Keep Writing. ^___^
