    Poem Commentary

    This is how my sonnets roll! Well, I haven't much tried or had practice with iambic pentameter, so it doesn't really have it. If it has some meter, that's just because I naturally write with a rhythm. Also, it's a rewrite of an old, crappy poem of mine xD.

    Illusions Fade Into Today

     Nighttime's pure illusion has left unrest;
    Nothing's become of the world I had seen.
    Awaking I find the sting of distress;
    I can't help but think the grass isn't green.
    On the inside I wish that things would change--
    At nights in dreams, but by day manifest.
    Why is reality a strict one-way?--
    The end of this reality is death.
    By the end of this existence, perhaps--
    In death do we part from embodiment;
    The physical form may yet have relapse
    And the spirit be eternally blessed.
            When my illusions have faded away,
            I hold to the hope of new life someday.

    beautiful poem with such insight and wisdom to behold, bravo! The greatest illusion of life is that of the walking dead. People who are born to the flesh of the world, live of the flesh, grow up, get married, have kids, go to church, grow old, and then one day they die, never knowing what it was to truely live. For the illusion is that the life of this world is all there is, bu the truth is that this world made of flesh is nothing but dust in the winds of time, and if all we ever know is the flesh of the world, than dust we become. To truely live one must be reborn into the life of one's spirit, to live of one's soul, this is the path of true life and the light to be found in the darkness of the night is the light eternal... perhaps I see, perhaps I am blind. Purity of the soul, journey well!!! Angel aka The poem buster

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
