Atlas (The sky-bearer)
People only view you
from far, far away.
You are the richest painting,
the tops of the tallest trees;
to be seen,
but never touched.
Your arms stretch,
and swell, but never seem to strain,
though the clouds swirl
above your golden curls.
The storm above
just bides it's time.
The rains drop heavily,
on your over-burdened shoulders.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
You are solid and strong,
but struggling to raise
the gray mass
that would tear you down.
Don't let the rains fall
now, when you have come so far.
Not when I am here for you.
Here, raise your arms again,
and we will raise
the clouds again together.

on The Sound of Sadness from @Ian.T
"I have looked at this one from a while back, I think that it needs a little re read for others to assess its value, I found it secretively good. If there is anything that needs attention then I look forward to any edit…" - February 2012

"And the poem is written in the plain.poetic language everyone can relate to. But isn't it a bit whingy? How about a stronger ending?" -

About Me
About me
I'm from a little town in Alaska. I doubt most people know where to put it on a map, but that's why I like living there. No people. Or at least less people. I'm in highschool, so what I write tends to be of a lesser quality, and more emotionally charged. Sorry about that. :)
