Dear Steve,
On the second read through, it all fell into place and made perfect sense to me. I guess a sort of mindset orientation was needed to get me aligned. The strange sensation is that our minds seem to be very closely matched and as each phrase came forward, the choice of words seemed to be nearly optimum as a first parse can be.
It is powerful and loaded with emotional triggers, contrasting Images and interesting symbols. The opening lines had a tint of the Moody Blues and I felt myself floating away with lyrics. I especially liked the two almost refrains, the last being my favourite.
“I am the river, I am the raver I am the giver, I am the saver I am the power, I am the light I am nothing, I am the night I am what I am...”
I am unsure of what this style of yours is called. Defiantly too rhythmic to be free verse but too loosely structured for form, I am liking it more each new piece you write.
One thing is for certain - I am left deeply affected by this piece. The courage I see in your writing is an inspiration for me. Thank you.
Would you object if I wrote a lyric based on this poem?
Glad to hear the meds are working for you.
Cheers,
Wally
