As the Constructor has decided: / Those who seek out the void
Here is part of the lyrics from Storm the Sorrow by Epica:
I tried to peer into the core
But could not storm the sorrow.
I’ve never heard that one, thank you for sharing!
The Constructor has ordered, great line. I immediately read that in two ways.
Oh, what were the two ways you read it?
I do like that line a lot as well and did go back and forth in my head if “ordered” was the correct word usage, but concluded yes.
The first reading was ordered as in arranged or placed in a specific order, the second was as a command. It's an interesting layer to have.
That is interesting, I hadn't considered that, which is the fun part of others reading your works, what is gleaned by those may be different than intended.
I often used words with multiple meanings in my poem in a deliberate way, so I'm probably sensitive to it when I read work by other poets :)
Sometimes a few lines are enough to leave a question echoing. I enjoyed the quiet, reflective tone of this piece.
Thank you so much for the read and thoughtful comment!
