Hearts Up High

Too lazy to write a description. Click and you'll see.

When worlds fall apart,

The cataclysm kicks into overdrive,

Father Time forgets the living;

Hold your hearts up high.

The pillar will not fall,

Should its peak prove out of reach;

Though obsidian may still crumble,

Since there is a lever hidden.

A guardian stands before it,

His face familiar somehow;

Those who best him in some way,

Get a privilege truly unique.

But the lever on its own,

Either soar or slip there holds,

Since its purpose solely depends,

On the operator's shrouded will.

I've been reading and rereading this poem for over five minutes now. At first, I was just trying to let it sink in - to get an overall feel for the poem. Then, after I reread a few more times, I'm finding myself trying to absorb every word of it.

It's really lovely, Tom. I keep getting blown away by how much talent you have! I shouldn't, though, because you never write anything that isn't absolutely stunning.

You remind me of a person I met on this site long ago, interesting. XD
Thanks! :D

[Invisible]

[Tomislav Petricevic]

I knew it! XD

[Invisible]

i'm pretty predictable aren't i?

[Tomislav Petricevic]

Maybe I'm just perceptive! XD

[Invisible]

well that much we already knew, right? :)

[Tomislav Petricevic]

Yeah, I guess you're right. XD Okay, you win! XD

You wrote this in 10 mins?! Say what???!!!!!

An amazing poem, reeking of reality. The last stanza was definitely my favourite. It really does depend on the 'operator's shrouded will'. Well done Tom.

[Tomislav Petricevic]

Yeah, sometimes I have these bursts of poetry where I write really fast, but most of the times nothing good comes out of it. XD
Thank you! :D
