Tin Man

Tin Man

A Poem by Tate Morgan
"

it is such a strange thing to be human

"

 

I hear the rhythm of the rain

wind-whipped drops falling to the ground

Tapping on the old window pane

there's music in that lonesome sound

 

Skipping through the morning shower

daisies covered by mist in dew

Calm and warm so tame with power

life springs forth all fresh and anew

 

Watching the world's sins melt away

gifting life with the chance to be

Feeling the sun light up the day

washing the blues away from me

 

Like the man built solely from tin

with a chest full of broken dreams

The rain falls softly on my skin

nothing quite the way that it seems

 

Watching the clouds that turn to rain

falling on the glass by and by

They run down from the window pane

before the grace of you kneel I

Author's Note

Tate Morgan
Such a metaphor for my own life the tin man. Often I am right as rain. Moments later set by depression and doubt. Then the rain comes washes away the blues and I am fine again. The sun comes up and shines upon me again.All my worries pale in consequence.

Hi Tate, After having a break I find this easier too read...Sometimes when you have been working n your own work it's hard to get into a different rhyme, so my fault not yours! I was going to add to my original comment but it seems it has been deleted?!

Love it, and the song going with it. You capture this well, and love the image of the tin man as well.

I loved the thin man when i was a little girl, the man wonted a heart! how noble that is, and he already had one... something like Miguel Pinero's - "Seeking the cause"!
I like the rhyming and the story... Beautiful poem!

I love the Wizard of Oz! This is a lovely poem. I can just imagine what it would be just to stand there helpless and rusty without being able to move in such a beautiful and magical world like Emerald City.
