A Anonymous letter I got!!

I was like damn! when I got this letter, actually not a letter but a scribbled piece of paper under my desk, this is what I read, I dont know if its for me, but ya! I though I will share!

Quote:In the deep valley of the dead
rather the mind that binds the soul
to the peice of flesh
even fire now rots
Oh thy God! I took much time
to know what wealth resides in me
and that few men have ever
dared to encounter
-Anonymous

Today I stand among the ruins of my life
pathetically staring at ever smashing twinkle
in whose show reigned my happiness
roamed and raomed to find my mind
untill I promised myself
Tomorrow I will stand in all my glory
-Anonymous

So what do you think of these lines?

Well, to be honest, I think its a bit grandiose and overdone.... its possible to create a mood and feeling with simple words and a good use of extended metaphor.

If its about looking back on ones past, or looking at what one has made of "life" then I think there are maybe some other poets who have said that kind of thing more lyrically yet simply. Take Macbeth's soliloquy - if thats not about the pointlessness of "life" then I dunno what is, but look at the language - very simple:

Quote:Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

But, I believe those lines put the meaning of how you could make your life nothing, and how you could make your life everything, it signifies hope, but whatever why do you think someone would leave it under my desk?

Maybe they dropped it? Perhaps it was a stray something in the world.....

"untill I promised myself
Tomorrow I will stand in all my glory"
