The Land as Sky

Dedicated to my big brother! He is 'the land' the sturdy rock as it were. But now i see a whole other side to him.

I blanked a whole side of you out.
Focused in one direction.
I was not totally to blame,
it landed on your projection.

No doubt that we had suffered,
but i hollowed out Alone,
oblivious to the simple fact,
that you were the only one who'd known.

I wish that it were not you or I
but the fact that it were both
gives me so much comfort
that the heartbreak sprouted growth.

I bow to your graciousness,
but meet you eye to eye,
and rejoice in this realization
that i see you, The Land, as sky.

Author's Note

Dedicated to my big brother! He is 'the land' the sturdy rock as it were. But now i see a whole other side to him and i see that we are emotionally more similar than i first thought. Also, take a look at the picture, it was part of my inspiration. Please tell me what you think!

This is utterly fantastic, you definatly have a way with the english language, and knowing the context that this comes from i can see the power and passion within your words.

I espically love the final verse , and this underlying theme of connecting lands. A very honest piece short, sweet and to the point.

I like how this flows...sometimes it is easy to forget that people aren't always exactly what they seem. I like how you symbolized him as land but then realized he is more vast like the sky, which can be unpredictable at times. I also like the picture you picked, like the land becoming the sky.

Great Job
