to finally rest in peace
« Thread started on: Jul 3rd, 2008, 10:58am »
Perhaps someday I will look back at this life and write the story Of both the great toments and pleasures in my memory It seems I was born unafraid of this thing called death Though I never looked back I may do so before my last breath And it will not be out of fear of what is to follow For there will be no reason to remember the sorrow My mind will find only good times on which to feist So that my heart may finally rest in peace.

Its unusual to see such a short piece from you but just as in your longer works you always have a story/message to tell and i thought the length of this was absolutely perfect. I was guessing you left out the r in torment, unless i need to learn a new word, which left me a little confused because you stated that your mind will only find the good times but also that you are to write/ reminisce of your great torments. I am intrigued as to whether this is solely about reminiscing about a lifetime or whether it could also be read as reminiscing about the end of a relationship, so for death read love and for your heart to rebuild itself you are to focus on the positives of your experiences. I would love to hear more about this one.
