An Everyday Eternity
Posted by: Aaron (71.193.157.---)

There are not moments in a sunrise
Like a flooding tide
Light and shadow glide
Through canyons and fields
A song too universal for melody
A Dance too intricate for steps

Only here, as the light eclipses
All that has been and will be
Am I free of time and present
In this everyday eternity




(I could use some help regarding the formatting/structure of this one. Thanks)

Not moments in a sunrise
Like a flooding tide
Light and shadow glide
Through canyons and fields
A song too universal for melody
A Dance too intricate for steps

Only here, as the light eclipses
All that has been and will be
Am I free of time and present
In this everyday eternity

or maybe

No moments in a sunrise
Like a flooding tide

Light and shadow glide
Through canyons and fields

A song too universal for melody
A Dance too intricate for steps


Only here, as the light eclipses
All that has been and will be

Am I free of time and present
In this everyday eternity

There are just stuck me as an exceptionally weak opening phrase.

I like the poem a lot,

Peter

personally I found it eloquent as it is and personally in most cases am against revising you initial thoghts. good stuff and no need to be humble here...you are good. Peter is a good resource here thogh and gives good insight...read his work and you'll see why.
