Ragweed: Yay, more poems! Thank you to those who reviewed the first one. Well, I've decided to write a little…poem…collection…thingy. So, the different poems will be different chapters. This one is about Jack on the island, the first time. And for those of you who care, I'm going to writing a Pirates fic, so if you're interested—
Jack: Oh will you just show us already?! I want to get this over with.
Ragweed: Okay, here you go. And you may need to know this for the poem. For those of you who care, a Sea-sparrow is a real bird that lives out on the ocean, only coming shore to feed and nest. Their birdsong's are very smooth, flowing, and slurred, the inspiration for this poem actually. And that was my little biology lesson for the day. =)

I cannot explain it,
In a way that you would hope to understand,
For not even I am sure what true,
And what is just lost in sand
--0--
I cannot remember entirely,
What truly went wrong,
All was dim and hazy,
Like a slurred Sea-sparrow's song.
--0--
And once I realized,
That it was truly gone,
And as I watched all I knew,
Disappear into the bleeding dawn…
--0--
Numbness came upon me,
As I watched the blood-pouring dawn,
And all was dim and hazy,
Like a slurred Sea-sparrow's song.
--0--
I sat unfeeling on the sand,
Toiling with my broken mind,
Trying to put it back together,
But Life isn't always so kind.
--0--
The shattered pieces of my mind,
Like a broken glass shards,
Only to reflect me in cruel mimicry,
Twisting and snaking onward for countless yards.
--0--
And perhaps I was meant to die here,
But I hope that I am wrong,
But for now, all is dim and hazy,
Like a slurred Sea-sparrow's song.
~Ragweed
