A poem that sprang to mind

This is a poem that came into being after writing a comment on Skandar's post: Tomorrow. After I wrote the comment, I felt the overwhelming urge to sit down and write a poem about it, and here it is:


A New Era

Sighing, sobbing
Weeping, wanting,
Good bye, normality,
Hello, new era of different.

Innocence lost,
Knowledge gained,
Good-bye, normality,
Hello, new era of different.

Changing, leaping,
Jumping, flying,
Good-bye, normality,
Hello, new era of different

Feet first,
Splash down,
Good-bye, normality,
Hello, new era of different

Walking, wandering,
Tripping, falling,
Good-bye, normality,
Hello, new era of different.

Picture perfect,
Burning up,
Good-bye, normality,
Hello, new era of different.

Loving, living,
Losing, giving,
Good-bye, normality,
Hello, new era of different.

Laughter echos,
Gone forever,
Good-bye, normality,
Hello, new era of different.


A sad poem, I realize, and different, too than what I normally write. But not too bad...
