forgotten eyes

by Jon Garcia December - Not entered

His eyes are closing without intention 
The sensation of freedom is moving throughout
His body becomes cold in the realm of triumph
The time has come for his soul to be released
The thought of life is now a pastime
When the thoughts of death are accompanied
by misunderstandings that lead to victory
in the eyes of this independent warrior
Gravity becomes heavier when he strains for view 
A moment of peace is unfamiliar to him
He's confused in defeat, when he knows that he won
The pollution around him, is hardly observed
He's tired of fighting, he's tired of confusion
It's been a long time since the peace was stable
The familiar silence is now fading
The atmosphere is changing into a pause
The audiences' views are blocked by fear, 
His view is seen through nature, and peace
He holds his eyes open for a moment longer 
He begins to see a distracted image
He will wait longer for the image to clear
He is ready to run through the fields of glory 
The image is here, the time is too late
It's the face of his father, with a tear in his eye

He remembers to times, with the friend he once had
He remembers the times, when his father was proud
-Now, he can close his forgotten eyes-

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem at a time when I felt lonely, 
when the bond that my father and I had began to pull away.
This poem is a time of dwelling on the past and crying for 
the future.....
