    war down ...window drive
    war down war down
    blue horizon comin clear
    grey road stretches beneath the fragile light and erases the distance to here and from here and comin closer, closer to there
    a distance...a horizon
    the sun rising
    truth like a bay glistening and waiting for the first sail
    truth like a child's open arms
    truth like fire, like wind, like rain
    war down truth now
    simple breeze the first still light of dawn
    slowly tips the boat. awake. alive. warm.
    in my dreams
    in my head
    this bright light
    this simple breeze, melting with a melody
    this is it
    this is alive
    this is alive

    I looked back on this, and I want to reply to it. I want to like it, but I am hesitating. What war is down? what? *shakes his head* There are some parts I really like in this..and some parts that I don't. To me, this work seems glitchy. I like that. but, you seem to get poetic right in the middle of it.
    "truth like a bay glistening and waiting for the first sail
    truth like a child's open arms
    truth like fire, like wind, like rain"

    To me, this doesn't go with the rest of the poem. It's too elegant for this work.

    "slowly tips the boat. awake. alive. warm."

    Great work. One word sentences, ideas. Great with the periods, makes them strong.

    The ending was nice. This is alive.....
