Eyes New From Sleep And Sorrow Poem by Ananta Madhavan
Eyes New From Sleep And Sorrow
New are my eyes from sleep or tear-laved sorrow,
Awaiting a transient Tomorrow and Tomorrow.
I am reconciled to being just a nameless cog,
But hope that dream or trance allows a monologue.
What is the earthly use,
When we already know the news
Before it happens in our bog?
we get into the bleak mood of the famous Shakepeare monologue in
Macbeth, 'Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow'; in this mood the
character considers all beings to be actors with various roles and
exits. But the despair of transience is mitigated by our capacity
to wonder at the changes we see almost every moment, although it may
seem that it is only a repeat of what has already happened.
New are my eyes from sleep or tear-laved sorrow, Awaiting a transient Tomorrow and Tomorrow. - - - - - - -An amazing write, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your generous comment. I have also written about 'communing with oneself. Is it a self-centred solilioquy or a dialogue? Best wishes, AM

The speaker of this poem directly confronts the failure of their dreams to become realities. And nothing seems to last long enough to be. The mood is despair, but not completely. Your prose comment explains this, especially the last sentence, which is an amazing insight. Why not incorporate that insight into your poem through imagery? ?
