Stars and Shadows MAG
June 2, 2008
Shallowing through sand I search for diamonds,
excusing the dark and undisappearing stains
for a few honest shadows,
and barely breathing
for the desired fear of being heard.
I am stuck in a time where
the only hope
is that maybe hope exists,
and maybe we’re not the foolish star wishers
we see in the mirror,
we see in the sadness of memory.
I once read that poetry is music of the soul,
but it’s a forgotten harmony,
a whispered blending of the melody,
echoing from every unspoken word,
melting from the things we never say,
although, from the very first day,
we knew things would be this way.

I liked this poem because it was very descriptive and detailed. I also agree with you when you said that poetry is like a fading melody; the simile was very effective.
