The wind above my head,
The grass beneath my feet,
I stand here alone in paradise;
Against the flow of the world.
Vowing to myself never to change,
A promise to stand firm,
Twice I've made the mistake of conforming;
Never again shall I allow that to happen.
The plains of heaven to my left,
The trappings of the world on the right,
Walking the delicate balance between the two;
Stumbling at times, only to walk again.
Clouds streaking across a blue canvas,
Sunshine scattering over a deep lake,
A perfect reflection of my carefree soul;
Dispersed over thoughts of unfathomable depth.
A forest fringing the lake,
Roots intertwined, trees older than time,
Feeding off the water of the lake;
Keeping it's secrets locked within.
As the cloak of night draws,
The darkest of creatures emerges,
It's figures horribly twisted,
A mask of sorrow, pain and hatred.
Within this place I dwell,
Silently enduring the days of life,
This place, formed from my innermost being;
Entrapping me forever within myself.

A heavily metaphorical and symbolic poem, although it can be taken by its
surface meaning.. ^^..A poem about myself essentially..
Beautiful ^^ Thaddeus, your poems never fail to make me feel so calm xD But this
poem reminds me of many things.....beautiful ^^ Keep up the great work, and as
usual loved the words you used, especially As the cloak of night draws,
The darkest of creatures emerges,
It's figures horribly twisted,
A mask of sorrow, pain and hatred.
