Through Eternity's Acres

by NightFlyer   Jul 1, 2009


Wind rustling through eternity's acres
In a pastel land of green and shade
Spirits of the woods on quiet paths
Move with the breeze, into dark recesses
Above a damp floor of leaves, this windy oracle,
Oblivious to time's tyranny,
Pulls me further into depths of verdant silence
Its grey lichens on bark and lengthening shade
This desolateness,
Soon to be conquered by advancing dusk, like a wave
The whippoorwill and robin birdsongs,
Heralding advancing shadows
Silence leading me to deeper paths of dusk
Past weathered gravestones, crumbling in dissolution
Now, the delicacy of ferns
Catching the brilliant glow of dying sunlight
Emerald green diffuse across this ancient path.

    The only thing I didnt like about this poem was that it wasnt separated into stanzas, instead it was just one big stanza. I personally would have broke it up a bit. But aside from that great work, very well done with the imagery.
