Spilling Sand
11 July, 2007
Author: RinRin
Shadows harness their cameos
Shredding shades of life.
Little children moving from home -
They lived out their lives
In green, yellow, and gold.
The browns, they fly away
Through the blades that
Shoot still upwards.
Tall bodies stand with pride.
They will bud new children next year.
And here I sit in the shadows,
Spilling sand into my eyes.

| shiloh (66.24.112.118) -- Thursday, October 11 2007, 11:35 pm you are writing about dandelions? that is my interpretation, at any rate. what i am having trouble with, and this bothers me, is the spilling of sand into your eyes... i can't quite understand that part. at any rate, your work gives a pause to the reader's mind, and that, in itself, is a valuable thing. peace... |
| RinRin (69.133.140.220) -- Sunday, October 14 2007, 10:33 pm Hi there! Thank you for the comment :). I will explain the poem to you. In essence it is talking about trees that shed their leaves in Autumn and grow back in later seasons, almost as if they are "budding" children over and over again, a never ending cycle of life and death. The "spilling sand" part refers literally to my dampening my fertility with birth control..may sound a little strange but that's truly what that part meant. I felt a while ago a bit jealous of those trees, birthing those leaves as children, and there I was, destroying my chances of conceiving. I do have a child now though, and am very happy! :) Hope that helps! And thank you again! *RinRin* |
