I'm back, and shining by a new light. - 11 November 2010.


Newfound Love.

Blood signature of sun,
Thrown into motive
Of a sharp one, nameless,
But recovered to live.

Hacking problem child,
To black and white,
Slight run that began to give,
And hit eyes of masonry.

Windows a' hazy silver,
Fixed with morning glow,
Calling of fire for the hearts around me.

Tomorrow.

What a reunion with poetbay, welcome back John. And what a fitting poem to start off a new chapter. Looking forward to more of your writes.

F.i.in.e Moods The PoetBay support member heart!
Nice to see you back!

This made me think of troubled times having taken a turn for the better and a will to go forward being born. It's the choice of words (ex. 'blood', 'motive', 'sharp' for the troubles; and 'recovered to live', 'began to give', 'morning glow' for the turn to better) that gives me this impression. Hope I'm not way off course, but that's the effect of the words for me - I get a hopeful feeling and I liked that very much. Thanks.
