Where Dancers Used To Be

by Curing the Comon Cliche   Sep 12, 2008


A silver stream trickles where dancers used to be
It leads to the lake, so full and blue
With a subtle silver glow, as if the moon left a trail
The forest that once surrounded
Has reclaimed what was her's
Tree's grow from the stone
Vines entangle the once white pillars
The gentle waves that break on the shore
Can be heard faintly, like the wind
That blows silently through the leaves
It makes patterns on the floor
The hall retains a faded beauty
It's almost something one can feel
The moonlight touches the ruins
Where dancers used to be

    ^^ no apostrophe.

    So at first, I didn't realize this was a reference to the Dance Hall. But then i figured it out, right as you said pillars. I dont like that the dance hall fell...but there's something to ruin even from the ruins..

    very pretty, visual poem. 5/5
