Steps To New World Poem by Theo Williams

Steps To New World

Rating: 4.0


I wander through the meadows of bliss
Walking upon the prairie
My ears feel a tender kiss
From a tree - a singing canary.
This is but a stroll, through heavenly meadows.

My feet walk slowly through the field
Sky, shining upon this founded haven
Through the veil - my eyes revealed
My heart's true temptation.
This is but a stroll, through heavenly meadows.

Glistened buttons dot the darkened sky
Forming all types of constellations
Stars shape an angel up high
Sent to save our nations.
This is but a stroll, through heavenly meadows.

My feet have fallen - I walk the Earth
They are now bound by man
The less I do feel of worth
Upon this befoulment I stand.
This is all but a stroll, through heavenly meadows.

My solitary soul - stands the ground
A sanctuary I need with haste
Light-years afar the haven I'd found
This world - An Eden I will make.
This is but a stroll, through the restoration of heavenly meadows.

I love the way you end each stanza, especially the last. I'm very intrigued with the idea of the world not being as great a place as it seems, but still trying to entreat it.

The use of repetition was evocative of an incantation and a mantra of message or instructions or limitations almost like a disclaimer to the physical world as opposed to the boundless ethereal. The stanzas were lyrical with good rhythm. The final stanza as a declaration to make or force change and the determination strengthened in the finale of the altered last line from the previous repetition declaring that a change or return is going to come, provided a strong and forceful conclusion.
