(I have withheld the title of this poem because I want to elicit some responses to it without the final piece of the puzzle that details meaning.)
There among the fields unended
Corn and sky, path unintended
Walking on the song rescinded
Stands alone a heart unmended
More alone than ever, kildeer
Sound of wounded, dying in fear
Must move on or else I die here
Shadows grow for sunset looms near
Darkness brings it's own vibration
Sounds of silent alienation
Yet I stand there in frustration
The shadows growing more impatient
Uneasly silent, the fields grow colder
Every moment, getting older
Yet the kildeer cry out bolder
"Lonely" cries the wounded soldier

there among the fields unended--- there's the real hope in this verse Michael. A stirring, painful piece. the path unintended-- there's the mystery. this one feels frostian. good work. glad to see another cathedral day dawning.
JohnDeere,
Interesting interpretation I think. So do you think the sun is rising in this poem? or setting?
Michel
Michael, this poem is great...I just wish I were more educated in poetry so I could understand the symbolism better...but it is a beautiful poem, nonetheless...
"Yet I stand there in frustration
The shadows growing more impatient"
is the sun rising or setting... I get the sense that it depends on which way you choose.
at dusk and dawn..
dark is crowding or light is invading..
I'm hoping for invading light.
