On going to Australia

Contributed by reilt on Monday, 2nd August 2004 @ 04:16:27 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

You say the sun will burn
skin crisped
But I tell you that
I may grow taller than I am
or smarter or wiser
In the heat of new days
that are ahead.
But for the advice I know a warmth
you cannot tell me of yet.

I want to tell you
That in all my years
I've never loved the way,
this way
or ever felt it so
When I'm lost, you find me
when I'm down, you lift me
when I'm happy, you are my reason
And I'm more in love with you
everyday of the life you gave me.

But our paths need to divert now, somehow,
and break us if it must
because my wings are stronger than given credit for
And I yearn to test them in bluer skies than I've known
So with all the sadness of parting,
amidst the loss
I have to say
I want to know the sun,
fly too close and burn
To learn and love
In the heat of new days
yet to come.

Wow. Don't think me weird, but your poem made me think of John Donne's a valediction forbidding mourning, in its 'I love you but I need this, I need to go' message.

'In the heat of new days' a terrific, resonating line.

A poem your parents should take as the deepest compliment. 5/5
