Crystalline World

March 6th, 2008

 

 

It’s a crystalline world out there

Don’t touch it!

 Just look

See

Gaze into beauty

Such fragility

 

A silent grace you will never possess

It’s a crystalline world

Hard, cold, and icy

Frost coats your words

Mist crawls down your throat

Ice smothers the spark

The spark of imagination

That could be

 

A crystalline world

A place of clear truth

Where you see every ugly little detail

With such clarity

At such a great distance

That it could never really harm you

Could it?

 

It’s a crystalline world out there

Please don’t break it!

You could never experience it

You would simply ruin it

Just look

Stare

 

You can’t taste it, can’t smell

Can’t breathe it in

Nor can you live it

Simply watch

Don’t complicate it

 

For you will shatter the perfect stillness

A brittle balance

The branches of existence

Snapping under such heavy thoughts

Boughs covered in snow

Crash down on the unsuspecting

Stillness it still is

 

A single flame

A breath warm air

Would destroy it

You would cause our perfect world to fall

 

But it’s yours to

Your life

Your part of a crystalline world

So live it, breathe it, cherish it

 

It’s a crystalline world out there

Shatter it!

I think this is one of my favorite poems. I had to read it twice, and I can see a few different ways that this could be interpreted. It makes me think of people that are afraid to try something new or live their lives, because they're afraid it won't be perfect. Like they'll shatter their perfect image that they hope for by actually trying, and finding it's not what they expected. I lubs it. Just lubs it.
