A New Flame

About rediscovering self, and changing the perspective towards viewing life... Dreaming new dreams.

I traversed the land

I crossed the oceans,

Flew above the clouds

Moved underground,

To burn away the me

That I used to be,

I buried my old self

Put it to the grave,

Kindled a new flame

Tired of being the same.

I found beauty

And changes aplenty,

I listened to the tale

I dreamt of the lore,

I answered every whisper

That the wind bore,

I'll master the pen

I'll conquer the quill,

I'll build my empire

With my unfaltering will.

This part here really spoke to me:
To burn away the me

That I used to be,


I buried my old self

Put it to the grave,


Kindled a new flame

Tired of being the same.


The words you chose to create the life change and the deep emotions were perfection, as if they were created in wait for you to place them together, bonded and complete. Many will share in the feelings and the journey that the voice speaks of...

Glad you liked it... That's my personal favorite too..

pratikshya,


It is not strange when writing touches the most abnormal reality. Actually it is everywhere. But only those who are gifted with the flame(or curse , you may say) will notice it and get urged to recreate it. The natural laws are nothing when it reaches the realm of it own as above.

excellent attempt........................


carry on.............

Sometimes, it's very good to re-create an honest life full of peace... instead of having troubles in life. Liked your insights. Keep on! ;)

very strong, fills me with a sense of letting loose and being free to find the person you truly are...the last lines " I'll Built.." I'd change to "build"

beautifully done.
