And miles to go before I sleep

finished for now.. i might go poke at it later.Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there's some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. -Robert frost

Aakyra (Jan 4, 2009)
This is my personal favorite so far. The path goes on for miles, ... miles. Lovely interpretation!

Letter from GodHey There, how, how’s it going? Long time no see. I know I haven’t been around much lately But…it didn’t seem like you wanted me to be The last time I sent down a message you nailed it to the cross So I figured I’d just leave you to it, let you be your own boss But I’ve been keeping an eye on you, I have, and it’s amazing how you’ve grown. With your technological advances and the problems you’ve overthrown, And all the beautiful art you’ve created with such grace and such finesse, But I admit there are a few things I’m afraid have impressed me less. So I’m writing to apologize for all the horrors committed in my name, Although that was never what I intended, I feel I should take my share of the blame. All the good I tried to do was corrupted when all the religion got into full swing, What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes. My teachings taken out of context to meet the agendas of others, Interpretations taken to many different ways and hidden meanings "discovered" Religion became a tool, for the weak to control the strong With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone No longer could the biggest man simply take whatever he needed ‘cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded Some of the deeds committed in my name just made me wonder were I went wrong. Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong. See, all the elements were already here, long before I began, I just kind of put it all together I didn’t really think out a long-term plan. I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky So you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise I covered the earth with plants and fruits, Some for sustenance and some for beauty I made the sun shine and the clouds rain so their maintenance wasn’t your duty I tried to give each creature its own attributes without making them enveloped I gave you all you all your own space to grow and in your own way space to develop I didn’t know such development would cause rifts and jealousy Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly You see, I wasn’t really the creater, I was just the curator of nature I want to get something straight with homosexuals right now: I don’t hate ya I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers I just laid the ground, it was You that built the towers It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems You invented terms like "just-war" and terms like "friendly fire" And it was You that didn’t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth, And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued But this apology’s to mother nature, cause I created you

"Sea-Fever"I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over. By John Masefield (1878-1967). (English Poet Laureate, 1930-1967.)

used a ref i saved a while ago.I might give the hand another shot cause its still pretty much off but i dunno. flubbles- i dont have a problem with criticism, i think its good to have it and then its your choice whether to regard it and try and improve it or not. roy- I do live in Israel and that's exactly what i meant. i hope things are going to get easier here soon.
Aakyra (Jan 4, 2009)
There is so much life and emotion in this ... I have come back to look at it several times. I think it is an excellent piece of art!
Miss_DJ (Jan 4, 2009)
Incredible and touching.
Pantera (Jan 5, 2009)
Emotional, as Miss DJ said it is touching, great work :) |
