Description Brain-weary,
        Opaque ghosts
                                       flitter              across

the purpling sky, grey.
        Translucent companions
                   mingle
                                       hidden
                                                                                                                        in solidity.
Solidarity of self,

                           torn between the others.
Angel-wing brushed eye-lids,

shallow moonwalk across browned grass.
         Glowing shadows sleep in dimmed,
                                               hysterical eyes, clouded.
                                Confusion evaded,             clarity reigns,

                breaking nature's laws to reveal the meaning.
Constant, pressure pushing
               downwards;
         take a step, fall
                        over to standing,
                        push on.

Chained in freedom, shackles aloof.
          Pull out a dictionary,
                                    Burn the witch at the stake.

New sun is dawning, darkness is lifting,
          Say good night as you said good morning.
                           Prior, now, to come, hours, meaning
                                                                               -less.



Greetings, it's yesterday now - or was tomorrow today?

That's very interesting... I haven't read a poem like that in awhile. It's great, because it directs the infliction of the words... YOU get to say how the reader reads the poem, and it works quite nicely in this.

My favourite line would have to be Chained in freedom, shackles aloof. Really describes how I'm feeling at the moment.
