I don't really like posting unfinished work, but I can't finish this one. Maybe it's just shit anyways and that's why I can't end it, but the last line is just not coming to me...at least, a good one isn't. So, maybe you all can help me out. Of course, any other comments on other parts of it are welcome too.
Somewhere
I wanted to tell her that somewhere virgin forests remain.
I wanted to tell her the sun still shines at night.
I wanted to tell her that the grass grows all year long,
and that the flowers are always in bloom;
but she was too far gone and I didn't have the words.
I wanted to show her the spiral pattern of the pinecone.
I wanted to show her the world within the pondwater drop.
I wanted to show her that even here in the city,
the stars still shine their silent peace;
but she was too far gone, and I was half-blind myself.
I wanted to tell her of the silence between the noises.
I wanted to tell her that evil is only there for contrast.
I wanted to tell her that darkness is but an absence,
and that the light is all there is;
but she was too far gone, and I was on my way.
