"Arisen~poem~" by Deborah Soukup

SciFi/Fantasy text 1 out of 24 by Deborah Soukup. ←Previous - Next→

We all struggle through the rough patches during life...this is a symbolic poem about doing just that and finding you were stronger than you ever believed.

Arisen

I stand upon grandeur

Of ice riven granite,

Trust redolent in the air.

My breath is laboured,

Feathering the chill

And grass stains smudge

My hands and knees.

But I am here

I am whole

I am re-newed.

Debbie

17 May 2001	Chris A. Heisserer	Loading... Ah-hah! I knew this looked new! I'm glad I got the first comment of this simple poem with such grand ideas and emotions tied into the words. I love the way you make an idea so to the point and understandable. I love how easy it is for me to read and understand, while still having that aire of something greater behind it. Very nice... I leave this poem feeling as if I've watched a mountain be born, or the last surviving warrior from a long-fought battle standing to survey his horizon. Very symbolic, very understandable. Great job, Deborah.
20 May 2001	Rachel E Armstrong	Loading... The imagery here is beautiful. I love the way you manage to convey the struggle that the narrator had to overcome to "arise." As usual, this is incredible, short but totally meaningful. Now, if only James Joyce could have used so few words to get his point across, I might have enjoyed "Dubliners" . . . ^_-
28 May 2001	Emily Kirsch	Loading... I can just see someone scrambling over rocks and mud to get to the top of the hill, only to find they're looking across fields and fields of bright, beautiful colours... wonderful.
30 May 2001	R.K. Vegh ~~ Trulance	Loading... This is beautiful, classic. I love it even if it is not like me at all to feel this way. I stand admiring.
23 Oct 2005	Dan Shevock	Loading... Nice little inspirational. Good use of language.
