Then alone I sat
Shaking in my bed chamber
My mind spinning
Overwhelmed
Attempting to understand what I had seen
I jumped to the window and tore back the drapes
Just to find the wonderful comfort
Of a plain, blue sky
Then doubt began to overtake me
A questioning of my sanity
Attempting to protect it
Until all questions went quiet
As my hand felt the charred hair on my neck
One last gift from that demon I sought to best
And as I fell back onto my bed
The only phrase my mind could reach
Was two simple words
What next?
Sólo entonces me senté
Sacudiendo de mi cámara de la cama
Mi mente hilatura
Abrumado
Tratar de entender lo que había visto
Salté a la ventana y arranqué de nuevo las cortinas
Sólo para encontrar la comodidad maravillosa
De un cielo azul claro
Entonces la duda empezó a alcanzarme
Un cuestionamiento de mi cordura
El intento de protegerlo
Hasta que todas las preguntas fueron tranquila
Como mi mano sintió el pelo chamuscado en mi cuello
Un último regalo de ese demonio busqué mejor
Y como me caí de nuevo en mi cama
La única frase que mi mente podía llegar
Fue dos palabras simples
Que es lo siguiente?
My guide
On my tour of the end of time
Challenged that I share what I had seen
But how could I ever truly do so
When my own mental stability
Was doubted even just by me?
Me, not a voice ever heard before
How could such a wild tale change that
And a new phrase bore its way inside
Two more simple words
Why me?
Mi guía
En mi recorrido por el fin de los tiempos
Desafió que comparto lo que había visto
Pero, ¿cómo podría yo realmente hacerlo
Cuando mi propia estabilidad mental
Fue puesto en duda incluso sólo por mí?
Yo, no una voz que escuché antes
¿Cómo podría un cambio cuento tan salvaje que
Y una nueva frase llevaba su camino en el interior
Dos palabras más simples
Por qué yo?
And so that day I held my tongue
And then the next
And then the next hundred
And nothing changed
And I truly mean nothing
Each day as I gazed into the mirror
The face that greeted me remained the same
Not one new line, not one more grey hair
Not one illness, not one scrape
Not one chance of a clean escape
Y así, ese día me mordí la lengua
Y entonces el siguiente
Y luego el siguiente cien
Y nada ha cambiado
Y yo realmente decir nada
Cada día mientras yo miraba en el espejo
El rostro que me saludó sigue siendo el mismo
No es una línea nueva, ni un cabello más gris
Ni una enfermedad, no una raspadura
Ni una sola posibilidad de un escape limpio
And then I knew
That as time grew
I would remain unchanged
Until that dark and dreadful day
And that the only way to find relief
Was to stand against the tide of disbelief
To tell my new, old story
To help all find the glory
To stand alone when the time arrives
When the universe must say goodbye
And yet my silence only grew
But if I only knew
Y entonces supe
Que como creció tiempo
Me gustaría permanecer sin cambios
Hasta ese día oscuro y terrible
Y que la única manera de encontrar alivio
Estaba de pie en contra de la marea de la incredulidad
Para decirle a mi nueva, vieja historia
Para ayudar a todos encontrar la gloria
Para estar solo cuando llega el momento
Cuando el universo debe decir adiós
Y sin embargo, mi silencio sólo creció
Pero si yo sólo sabía

Tulis commentswhat an unexpected turn! beautifully written....and I like how it can be intepreted in more than one way...as a powerful warning to mankind, as a ray of hope offered to all or as a personal struggle towards the eternity.

ReplyMany hugs for you too dear! I was totally unaware of that Poe story before you told me about it today. It sounds deep and fascinating. I am hooked on John Green books right now but maybe after that. I am so happy with the comments on my poem, you really get the tone of it so well. Such a sweet and encouraging friend :)
ReplyYou are so kind! I hope yours is all rock and roll too :)
ReplyVery sweet of you! I certainly plan to keep it up :)
ReplyWow, thanks!!! I hope your day is filled with joy :)
ReplyThank you so much, lovely! I cheated and stole the pictures for this round of the poem. Needed more specific images that I had actually encountered.
ReplyMuy bonitas las fotografías y los versos.
Replythey are very interesting themes for sure...and worth exploring.
Replyin reference to your comment on my blog, I wouldn't have been surprised if I saw an elf somewhere at Pec Mlini, it kind of reminded me of Riverdell.
AMAZING POST AND GREAT PICTURES!

Well, I have to say that I like this ending better that previous. There is still hope, perhaps it was a warning and something still can be done to change it. Though again, burden is on you. Great poem dear friend!
ReplyAmazing pics!!!

Thank you so much dear :)
ReplyYou have told! Fear not. The description and narrative is very compelling in here. Is it really a vision or were you trying to imagine what it would be like?
ReplyThank you so much and to answer your question, yes, it is one of those two things ;)
ReplyIt would be so lovely to hear from you. I promise to respond either here or on your blog.
