Blog Episode 106: "The sun dances on the ground"
Have you ever listened to a song that spoke to you, and the sad feelings you have? Now take that song and hear it on a day, where the clouds have broken and the sun creeps out. Now, what thoughts go through your head? Do you feel better than you did before, or do those feelings all come back? I could say that I am 100% better, but I would be lying. Things seem to be falling into place, but there is still that thought, that feeling in the back of my head. You know the movie "The Manchurian Candidate" or "Telefon" with Charles Bronson? Well, the reason why I am mentioning that is that both movies are about assassins who are triggered to kill after hearing a song, or a certain poem. They could be leading normal everyday lives, but when they hear that song, something comes back.
Well, that is why I mentioned those movies...well that plus the fact that I think Charles Bronson is awesome! Anyhoo, this song brought back an old feeling, and it made me question whether the old feeling is...well, old or not. It is a happy feeling that makes me feel good, and it has its little dash of sadness, but it is a happy feeling.
Seeing the sun bursting through the clouds got me to write this little poem:
The clouds break all around,
the sun dances on the ground.
A song begins to play,
too bad its a song from a cloudy day.
The melancholy E-minor plucks my heart strings,
only to be trumped by the love the C chord brings.
Love brings warm dreams and gives you hope,
The inevitability of reality cripples 'till you cant cope.
So on this day of maddening joy and light,
a decades old rivalry continues its fight.
As the referee of this bloody bout,
happiness is winning without a doubt.
No matter how much joy, the love and happiness can bring,
the doubt, fear, and inevitability bloodily returns to the ring.
What does this poem mean?: The weight of sadness withers away little by little, and its still painful, but I am happier now than I was before.
