Glass

Sometimes all I do is look at life through the glass…

Never participating…

Always letting the days to just pass

Never anticipating…

The next dawn…

                               The next moonrise…

Breaking the law

And the beauty of a surprise…

 

Lost in wilderness

Seductively drown in innocence…

A silent witness…

A sea of indifference…

 

Set the world on fire…

Witness the journey of a drop…

Carefully destroy this empire

That our minds always tend to adopt…

sometimes we stay behind the glass wanting to break through it but fear prevent us... i say crash through it full steam ahead!!

Great last two stanzas. Like what you did with the last two lines of the final stanza.

Thank you very much Chris.

Looking out the window can have a funny effect on us when people start looking in - we start opening and closing our mouths miming the word 'BoB' - its known as the goldfish effect.
This is a very intriguing write Ana.
I like the wooden acrostic in the middle - so cleverly done ;p

[Ana B.]

I'm thrilled you liked it dear ANTO, sometimes i do that ( go to the window and mime the world BoB) :) have a great morning and day my friend ;)

and an interesting thing - when I was up in the Blue Mountains recently I took a slow motion video of a most tiny waterfall cascading right next to me ... I keep it as a zen moment in time ... the drops fall and yes you can watch them all the way and then the sound at the end is a plop plop ... magik ... and in this I see your poem ... I love this as a reminder to tame the mind and find a little slice of peace X Lovely X

Wonderful inspiration, dear Ana.
Daring to take the time to find flesh and blood humanity so carefully or carelessly concealed in these steel and stone societies. I love this poem.

we live in two worlds, the real one, and then the one in our mind....

i like the irony, when you name it glass and then talk about breaking the law....most of the time we think of being behind the glass if we do break the law...but here the glass keeps us from ourselves.

nicely done, Ana.

[Ana B.]

thank you for your kindness Jacob.
