Look! - Here I stand before you yet none see; <br /> each promise un-fullfilled forget-me-knots: <br /> I dine alone upon discovery - <br /> none hear to validate perspective's thoughts, <br /> uncaught, they slip beyond recovery <br /> still I exist - their memory yet haunts. <br /> <br /> Like smoke I drift unfocused, with implied, <br /> my unshaped form absorbs what I perceive, <br /> where do I find the knowledge to decide, <br /> I'm left with only sorrow to retrieve; <br /> the God of knowledge, kind - held out his hand <br /> then learning me, withdrew. alone I stand. <br /> <br /> I vow to find, myself, that glimmered gleam <br /> of which I read in well-intention meant, <br /> and when I do I vow to share that dream - <br /> the colors will not fade 'ere they've been sent. <br /> I am - and I am deeper than my scars - <br /> recall me when I outshine even stars.Author notes <br /> <br />110709<br /><br />Terri Turrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unshaped-form-absorbs-parody/
