Flowers are blooming
out in the garden,
But I am stuck here,
entrapped in a trance that cannot be broken
Staring at you makes my stomach flip
and the whole of the world seems nothing but a passing fancy
The light of your eyes are like the sun
life giving to my soul
A blink, the world dark
and the trance is broken and I am free
This poem to me really embodies the relationships that often happen in high school and middle school. There is some connection and infatuation, and then all of the sudden it is over. Unnoticed by anyone, disappearing as quickly as it came. But then of course a new relationship spring up again and again and the cycle seemingly last for ever. The idea of liberation from a love that is too good to be true is important. This is often seen in countries like Iran where fundamentalist paint a beautiful picture of salvation, and at first it is, but as time goes on the ugly details come out. The unforeseen suffering arrives and people are dissatisfied and the illusion disappears and freedom is fought for. The cynical pattern as comes in these countries, as soon as one dynasty falls another one rises just like the other one. And so is the dilemma of a less educated society.
Wow, did you write that? I really think that is a good connection between love and liberation. But, maybe I am biased, but I think relationships will eventually last longer than it takes to blink, and I believe that will soon be true for liberation in countries like Iran. Eventually, liberation, freedom, and happiness will be there to stay.
ReplyDeleteI really hope so. Today's world is a place with too much distrust, and that is the number one cause of break-ups and dis-function.
