My, I'm glad you like ambiguity cos I've scattered my replies to you round at least two LJ sites and goodness knows how many entries! Good luck trying to work out which reply matches what - that'll feel like competing in the Olympics.
The idea for this poem was quite personal, in that starting or ending a journey usually makes me think, respectively, about what I'm leaving behind (or, indeed, about which things I can't leave behind - like my own bad habits and bits of guilt) or about what I'm returning to (or about what came with me but maybe has changed because of something that happened on the journey/during the time away).
The sky for me also travels - and can be "new".
And I've quite liked playing the mind game of CHOOSING how one would be if nobody knew one - would I act tougher, or less confident, or more interested or reveal a liking for something or someone which current circumstances make me keep hidden? etc etc. You get the idea. Fresh start; same old, maybe.
Gackt's face in this photo is very much a picture of someone on a journey into - or out of - himself. The physical departure/arrival is not the significant focus in his expression (hence the fragmentation I've used in image treatment). That's what my eyes saw at the time. But you can see what you like!
You're welcome to add to the story with another couple of verses. Why not? ;)
