About the Poem
This poem was inspired by Shakespeare's Macbeth. We are currently reading that play in my British Literature class. I know what I'm saying in it, but I'm not quite sure who it is directed to. It's for someone who has been hurt seriously by someone emotionally, That person knows it's not their fault and yet they take the blame for it and they are very hard on themselves. So, in the poem it says to have mercy on yourself more than on others.
Cloud Of Mercy |
| by Mich |
| Restlessness falls upon your cloud of mercy Forgive the pain that crowns thy head Forgive the pain that thorns thy heart I fear you sail in a ship of stone To put the weight upon your soul A storm approaches as another passes Wipe your hands of the blood you cry Merciless is a storm Fear not, build yourself an arch of wood With two levels and covered pitch let warmth abound your pierced heart Forget those who cold-hearted you Walk away from cold, cruel love Uproot the rooted pain Let it not set, and sprout into a tree For it'd be damned in you To cut it down Throw the rock filled with pain Overboard of thy wooden arch And forgive of it, think of it no longer For in the coming, it dost thee well |
