Let not light intrude
upon my world of darkness
and corrupt
visions to come
with dreams
gone by.
A ghostly, white globe hovers in the
upper right corner of a black page. This globe most probably represents
the moon, which aside from its common representation of romance, can also
represent the deception which often accompanies romance. Given the
content of the poem, this latter interpretation is most likely.
The poem appears on a misty gray cloud just
below and to the left of the globe. The script used is the blue,
cursive character, inquisitive and optimistic. Though not in appearance,
in content this page is a close companion to the next page.
The character of the script seems to be pleading
with the confusing, often contradictory voices which invade his contemplation.
Exterior voices, even if they are as true as they claim, cannot supplant
individual integrity. These voices are based on the past. Even
if they encompass
the motivations of the past, they are not the true voices of the future.
They are only clouding our main character's concentration.
