Children of Light
As the winter sun shattering bubbles of rain
Everything soaking
Wet
Us laughing and playing.
I reach out my hand and a million
throw in theirs.
We dance like soft, mad children.
Lilac petals crowd the insides of our eyes
Falling now from under my eyelids–
Tears of joy, tears of a rush,
On to our arms,
Soft, round and brown
Bruised with the dark spots
Branding us the children of light.

it is beautiful...
so there is hope yet?
"we dance like soft, mad children."
i'm thinking of peter pan and the lost boys. how wonderfully nostalgic of cool weather and comforters.
how deceptive can words be.I don't see hope at all in this.just beautiful sadness. No Peter Pans, no lost boys..lost souls maybe.
"shake dreams from your hair my pretty child my sweet one"
I f&%king love this.
That part about the soft, mad children; It hits. Deeply.
Rock on!
Your a sweety...
Children of Light by Robert Lowell
Our fathers wrung their bread from stocks and stones
And fenced their gardens with the Redmen's bones;
Embarking from the Nether Land of Holland,
Pilgrims unhouseled by Geneva's night,
They planted here the Serpent's seeds of light;
And here the pivoting searchlights probe to shock
The riotous glass houses built on rock,
And candles gutter by an empty altar,
And light is where the landless blood of Cain
Is burning, burning the unburied grain.
I know it dosnt have anything to do with anything but I just wanted to seam cool.
Its quiet snug here.. like woolly cotton brains. which I remember from my infancy :)
Note: We Danced like soft, mad children is in italics for a reason. I lifted it from the Ghost Song. Sad, that's the line that got almost everybody :(
not me, not me.
Jim Morrison was cool but you arent that bad either hehe and come to think of it, for me you are way cooler.
and rex venom..why the Fuck can't you type FUCK without using those fucking #% etc explicitives.
and dlak--that was cool(seemingly)
and to everyone who couldnt understand why the lines were in italics.."Duh"
