I recently came across some old poems/songs that I had written quite some time ago. They were pretty terrible. Actually I think most of what I write isn't that good, but reading them did inspire me to write more. When I couldn't find the words I needed google became my friend, usually very late at night. So over the next little while I'll publish what I've got so far and the internet will tell me if they are any good or not. TBH I don't care what you think of them, I like them. It'd be nice if you did but I don't need your validation, this is mostly about getting them recorded somewhere. The subject matter is all stuff I am passionate about, and I might even explain what the poem is about when I publish it.
This first one was originally written around September 2001, and is the only poem to survive the cull from that era. The subject will become obvious once you connect the date to the title.
Do you remember the day the sky fell down?
We awoke to a day torn
The city that never sleeps,
That fateful morn
Thunder echoed through the sky
Destiny’s wings cast shadows high
The day the sky fell down
In the face of the dark,
We found our light,
Courage in our heart,
A strength to defy,
To burn our soul,
Forever remind
The day the sky fell down
The day the sky fell down
Symphonies of hope resound,
Through the ashes and the tears,
Together we rise,
The day the sky fell down
Never forget the sky fell down
They carried the flame
Through smoke and debris,
The fragments, they whispered our name
From the rubble emerged stories untold
A tapestry of our heroes,
The brave and the bold.
The day the sky fell down
With our armour, we faced the storm
In the face of darkness,
Our spirits reborn
We found the light,
The day the sky fell down
Scars burn deep,
Etched in our hearts,
How we played the game
A world that prevailed,
Never the same
The day the sky fell down.
The day the sky fell down
We’ll never forget,
Or let darkness surround
In our hearts,
As we carry the light,
Love will always abound
The day the sky fell down
Never forget that the sky fell down
