1st Attempt

Ok. So a friend of mine told me that I need a creative outlet for my emotions. She had been reading my live journal for a good many years, and one that I appreciate still does. Anyway, she thinks the songs that I post are very poetic. She suggested I start writing my own stuff instead of posting songs. So tonight, I bring to you my first attempt and becoming the next world famous poet.



The sky is rich with pink and orange
Behind the whisps of clouds
The sun is going down again
On Nature's behest

How long's it been
He asks himself
Since he stopped to watch
And thinks back to years gone by and by and so long been forgot

Look at the sky, my son
Have you ever seen such beauty?
Every night this beauty will occur
And no other night will be the same

The setting sun's my favorite thing
The beauty can't be compared
All the glorious colors in the sky,
Means day is now at rest

All the colors I could never see
They seemed to always blur
but tonight I stopped and saw the colors
That put the day to bed.

But now i see the darkness coming,
It crawls,
It slithers,
and marches in.

I stop
I hold my breath
I close my eyes as it surrounds me.

I cluth close
I cannot move
And search for some way out

And a smile forms
As I see the dawn
Inside this foggy mind

And sun comes uo
And darkness hides
To

Ok.... this sucks... I can't even finish that peice of crap... better luck next time. (Good lord , am I really gonna post this? *laughs*)
