My Own Place

Never thought I would be here again
This is a place I do not comprehend
Sleeping finally in my own bed
For the first time in some years
I should remember where I have come from
Pain and anguish of a life undone
I felt a stranger to everyone
But for now those times have past
I have finally found quiet
A habitat that is my own
From the ashes of the phoenix that has died
Is a new bird taking flight
The joys of life have now come back to me
In the hidden things I did not see
Friendship true and days lit up brightly
No more obtuse roads to tread
I bore the world upon my shoulders in those days
A burden much too heavy for someone like me
It was four walls pressing very hard on me
A fate bereft of dreams or goals
From now on I hope tranquility
Will replace the ills melancholy
When the future looked dark ominously
And hope was starting to fade
And for those who struggle just like me
Darkness brooding in their hearts mostly
Shelter's coming wait for it patiently
Then you'll understand my song
From window in the kitchen
The birds flocked in their song
I saw that they were thirsty
And so they ate the snow
They sheltered there a moment
'Til the wind blew them aloft
I rarely noticed what they did before now
Until this dawn

| Beautifully written, sharing an important sense we all have. The optimistic hopes of a better day. The synopsis here doesn't show me much as to an explanation, unless a synopsis is different from a summary, then I think I get it. Either way, it's best to look towards the future, while still taking time to understand the present. I hope you do so, and breeze through the upsetting portion of life that you're in/have been in. Also, I like how despite this may be a set of song lyrics, with no shown music to be attathed to, I can still sing it in my head. :) |

We all go through our hells and hope for a grander day. That is what makes this poem something we can relate to...at least to me.
Great writing, Archie.

I regret I didn't check this out sooner. Great job, great flow. Strong voice here, Arch, but the overall message is the best part. Well done! I look forward to reading more about your journey ... When you feel like sharing it with others.
Thanks for always encouraging me.

I agree with all the others before me.
Sorry I missed this jewel. Carry on my friend.
Tomorrow will be kinder to you. That I know.
