Hibernation

Hibernation

A Poem by Frontier

You evacuate the song
from the hibernating heart 
Life's mortician
laid himself to rest 
He did not pass
The last test
plain magician 
you won't be here long

Hmmm, abstract... Let's see, what I get from this poem could either be about the concept that death reaches all (mortician "laying to rest" could be symbolism of a character that plays death dying himself, perhaps being tricked by a magician to evade death. Then the last line would make it deaths thoughts where that he thinks the magician is stupid because he's still going to die eventually. It's could ALSO be about a coma.... As the first two lines could signify life leaving someone.
.In this case the mortician is the doctor or family member pulling the plug and "laying him to rest". Then not passing the test is the test for brain activity. I like the many ways I can interpret this poem XD but these are the first two I thought of, nice poem^^) Thanks for entering it into my competition.

Cryptic, but that is the challenge of any poem. For me, the poem is not always about the meaning but sometimes about how it makes this reader feel. Nevertheless, I'll try and crack them both. I read somewhere that it takes at least the same amount of time to get over a true love, as the length of time that love lasted; but sometimes there's a shut down phase, or "hibernation." A cold ... freeze, if you will. And that ''song,'' that desire, that kind of love withers, it sleeps. Others will come around, try to rouse that desire, shake it loose, pull it, from its den. Stimulate, a resurgence of growth. But if those words, that energy, their "spring" is not strong enough, or true enough, their "magic," not –– pure enough? or worse, fraudulent? A heart that knows the real thing will see the difference, and if the ''miracle'' is too common, too "plain"? Then that stage should be bombarded, and I'm not just talking about fruits and veggies....
I like when I come across the tight literary enigma, so appreciate the space allowed here to give. it my shot. Or maybe, as we readers of poetry have the tendency of doing, I'm finding myself Lost Inside the poem...
An excellent, compact little-write, Front, that deserved/ to be broken down.

Depressed heart longs to sing out,while death is trying to hold you back, but he failed, life can be magic. hold tight or death will snatch it away............compelling dialogue..

Philosophical and definitely very deep! There are many ways a person can interpret this, but to me, it speaks of life and death and how even magicians can't escape death. No matter how many tricks we have up our sleeves, we can't escape death. But, we can accept death for what it is, and live our lives to the fullest. A poem that serves as a the crystal lense through which to see the philosophies of life! Good job :D

Pretty abstract. Makes you ponder in search for the reflection of the true meaning interpreted by your own mind, and keeps you close to it... Enjoyed it :)
