Hey everybody! One of the first things I saw when I woke up this morning is that Tom Fulp gave us a short mention in his "People 2 Follow" post. The next thing I saw is that after only one week, WNGhas moved from a small group of 4 or 5 people to over twenty. To commemorate our great start, and to toast to more success to come, I decided to release a sample of the poem I am submitting for the anthology. It's 8 stanzas long in total, and I'm posting the first four below. I hope you'll enjoy my first serious piece of poetry for WNG, "As We Fall".
Born into the world
Screaming, alive
Finite Time
A finite life
Heart beating like a ticking clock
A day comes when you can hear it.
Faintly, it flutters, barely a sound
Then, an unstoppable pounding of a drum
A steady background noise
Growing louder as time runs down
Some days, it is the only sound.
Its existence capturing all thoughts
Hammering onward in a fury
Wrathfully drowning all other sounds
Stopping, only to kill
Oldest enemy of man;
Dread silence of an idle heart,
The symphony of the dead.
Is there a greater foe,
Or one more victorious?
