Crystallized
Amid frozen
dreams and falling skies,
A rush
of blood flows to the heart -
Till
its walls fall – leaving us alone.
Follow
me –
Your
heart beats like mine.
Synchronous.
Around us lies a world,
Loud
and incoherent
With its clinging and clanging,
Drowned
out by hearts
Beating
as one.
Free
from the chains
Of
this world and its ties –
That
bind.
Follow
me –
Until
we find,
The
world as we want it to be
Somewhere
beyond a rainbow,
Where
worries and cares
Disappear.
A world
where stars and skies collide
Where
heartbeats and dreams live.
Forever
–

The dichotomy of living beating hearts with the crystallized cold space. Chills.
ReplyDeleteI'm still getting some strong Icarus vibes here. Maybe it wasn't the sun that melted his wings but the frozen upper reaches of the atmosphere that stole his heart, crystallized just out of reach of the stars.
I was going to do a writer's note, but I was still working through what I was trying to say with the piece. I've become a bit enamoured with the idea of trying to be better, dreaming (and living) larger than you have any right to regardless of the consequences. I think the Icarus connection is a good one. Fly too close to the sun, let your heart beat as fast as it can, dream a large dream and let what happens happen. Like Icarus, you will have lived longer in those seconds, than if you had lived a lifetime otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI think I might use that as the writer's note :)
Life is for living, and not in ice, but in consuming fire. Makes me think of Achilles, Alexander - and the latter's epic epitaph: here lies on for whom the world was not enough. Bam.
DeleteBeautifully said!
DeleteImagine all of this from a simple 6-stanza piece. There's power in words, indeed, or maybe the power is in us, and the words bring them out!
