Cresting Over the Horizon

Cresting Over the Horizon

A Poem by Matalia Riordan
"

Just some thoughts on this rainy day

"

    Tragedy and disappointment scar the strongest and most guarded of hearts but there is always a point in time when the defenses crumble and the will surrenders to a single moment of vulnerability and pure bliss.  To the outside world the spirit may be cold and reserved but in the quiet solitude of the rising sun the heart sings with joy and calm. As the bold hues of pink, blue and gold spread majestically across the sky the soul knows no limit and the heart knows no sadness. With the break of dawn, once the sun has crested over the horizon from its night of rest the heart settles back once again hiding behind the walls it has over the years locked itself safely behind in a world where the darkness shrouds the love it holds inside until once again the sun glows in the early morning light.

i'd keep it as it is. the fact that the style might be found confusing..... is it poetry or prose?......is a problem that the reader has to deal with. if this is how the writing came to you, this is the way it should be. the way i see it, it's a beautiful, deep, descriptive little paragraph. profound and complete.

This is beautiful, and so inspiring. I would suggest however to
write shorter stanzas so it will look more like a poem. Welcome to
WC and thank you for the review....AD

Wow this was intense and very intimidating. In a good way. You are first and foremost a fantastic writer. Your descriptive details on the sunset was breathtaking. It was like looking into your soul, in my opinion. Very beautifully written my friend. I really hope to see more!!!
