In the Land of Twilight

Lost in a story,
  where are you going?
Yet to return,
  to that ludacris world.

My place is here,
  awaken the child.
She is our hope,
  in her sleep our dreams.

Searching for the Key,
  to open the Twilight.
I am a dreamer wandering,
  to find that piece of me lost.

What wonderful people I have found,
  who search for paths of there own.
Intertwined are our roads and emotions,
  fighting a common foe of our fears.

Give me life, give me pain,
  without it I am nothing.
I want to see Her again,
  Her eyes now open with grace.

Surely I will return,
  when the finger points to the moon.
I have always been waiting for you,
  In the Land of eternal Twilght.

Author notes

.hack//sign was my inspiration for this poem, I love the .hack franchise and am captured by the storyline. I tried to use some of the main themes in my lines, dealing with finding ones self, and finding love at the same time.

The main story is to awaken Aura the ultimate A.I. who thinks and feels emotion while being a character in a computer game. Only she has the power to awaken those who fell into comas while playing the online game "The World". This is the "Her" I refer to. I had a lot of fun writing this, I hope all who read it enjoy it.

    Oh, I remember .hack//sign....What the hell was that anime about anyway? I never got into because I couldn't understand it. I donhttp://allpoetry.com/contest/add_finalist/2439027?item=5090609't like being outsmarted by an animated show. Lol. The animation was beautiful, though.

    Now, this is the beginning of the seven comments I promised, and I'm not just going to half ass my way through them, either, because you did a fantastic job on your entry.

    So, your poem: if I hadn't read your author comment, I think I would have thought the content of the poem didn't matter: it was about expressing an idea, the idea of wonder, the idea of spiraling imagination, or the magical times of life. It was wonderful and free spirited, though it did become somber at times. I love your rhythm.

    But in stanza three, line three, did you mean "wandering" as in the action?

      Thank you. I love the animation also, and the story is slow at times I admit. The tones of the story awestruck me. I wanted to convey that in this piece and your words make me feel that I did.

      *and it was "wandering" thank you I didn't notice.
