So Alive

My song/poem inspired by James Cameron's epic movie, "Avatar". Hope you like it!

So Alive (Inspired by the movie "Avatar")

Life

Is what I see deep in your eyes

Like the sparkle in the distance

And all around me it resides

And what I 

Feel

Feel the sadness in the rain

Feel the ground beneath my feet

I am free now once again

And take me

In

I see you so clearly now

And when the world's consumed in flames

We'll make it out somehow

Into the

Sun

As we soar into the sky

See the world in all its grace

But still I wonder why

I'm not who you are

But I know for sure

What I'm fighting for

I'm falling apart

But I know I've found

What I'm searching for

And I'm seeing the light

Now you've opened my eyes

The world is so alive

Time

Seems to stop as I look at you

At the glimmer in the trees

As it shines off the morning dew

Into the

Night

Hear the whispers of the past

And now you're by my side

I just want this to last

I'm not who you are

But I know for sure

What I'm fighting for

I'm falling apart

But I know I've found

What I'm searching for

And I'm seeing the light

Now you've opened my eyes

The world is so alive

I can't be who you are now

I'm not who I pretend to be

But does it matter at all now

Now you're here with me

Fight by my side now

Now that our time has arrived

And I'll come back to you

The world is so alive

In response to some readers, I'm explaining each and every reference to the movie. If you already know, or have a good idea, please ignore this.
The song is written from Jake Sully's perspective.
1) "Sparkle in the distance"/"Glimmer in the trees" - Anyone who ever watched the movie knows how freaking beautiful the set of Pandora is
2) "Feel the ground beneath my feet/I am free now once again" - Jake Sully is wheelchair-bound. While controlling his Avatar for the first time, he was so happy he could walk again...
3) "World's consumed in flames" - First battle against the humans
4) "Whispers of the past" - The Na'vi have a tree called the Tree of Souls, where a Na'vi can listen to the voices of his or her ancestors
5) "Fight by my side now/ Now that out time has arrived" - Final battle against the humans
6) "And I'll come back to you" - Neytiri has told Jake Sully earlier in the movie that the Na'vi believe those who die return as new Na'vi. This is what happens after Jake Sully suffocates in Pandora's atmosphere at the end of the movie and dies...
Hope that helped...

I really really really loved this poem. I loved the movie too but this was so beautiful. I think it's really cool how you write a lot of poems and songs based on other songs or movies and shows. And you make your own so much that you can't even tell you where you got your inspiration from. Truly amazing and you're truly talented.

hmm.. interesting.. have not watched the movie, but still i loved to look at it from a different perspective... i specially liked,
"I'm not who you are
But I know for sure
What I'm fighting for
I'm falling apart
But I know I've found
What I'm searching for
And I'm seeing the light
Now you've opened my eyes
The world is so alive"

Avatar was a very nice movie and have written a nice ode to the film. Very nice work.

I really like this... It fits very well with the movie. Sensitively written.

I have never seen avatar before but I have heard it is amazing. I like your comment as it explains the bits what I didn't understand. I find it helpful and explainable. From reading this poem it makes me want to go and see avavtar more then ever before. I could buy it on DVD and watch it with some friends and eat popcorn. I think the poem is written from the heart and is very deep in some way.

Excellent work. You're really going to have to stop this. I can't put EVERY one of your pieces in my favorites :) But they are very worthy of it. Your words always manage to touch my heart in some way. Great work.
