(Nostalgia)
What you say is a world. My years, seen through the cloudy eyes of youth. Of large rooms, deep and dim - stained with windows. Of railways of roads lying over tracks of grass. The deaths of rosebushes that sat beneath windowsills like downed clouds. Of neighbours houses, seen through a dirty green window pane. This world, I cannot go back to. If my years were over, they would strive to go back; to relive, to foresee again all the things they would soon forget. What you say is a world. A wordless vision.
I just got a read request for this. So, I will leave another comment.
I really think (for me) this is one of the best pieces I have read on here to date. Every now and then we find a poem that really speaks to us, this is one for me. Even though the words are not full of light and hope, it is definitely a beautifully crafted and worded piece.
This is beautifully descriptive both in imagery and philosophy. I love how you have constructed this piece into paragraphs. Each section brings with it a wisdom that resonates. This is really well done.
This was quite interesting, especially since it is so completely unorthodox. I like the seperations of the stanzas or "sections", and for me I am reminded of a sort of transcendence, like in the movie "The Fountain". Personally, my favorite section was Meteor; you really seemed to get to the meat of things in that section. Creatively done, and though I am still wrestling with wanting to put it into some sort of different format, I truly enjoyed the write as a whole. You get extra points for being your own, loud, strong poetic voice in a sea of sameness!

The way you have structured this is extremely well done. You definately have a way with descriptive wording.
This is quite a creative piece of work and I enjoyed reading it.
