Apathy

~

Amid the broken branches of great Sequoia trees

Amid the endless land of majestic prairies

Amid the infinte being of turquoise seas

Lies that which, without a name, knows only apath

Tis the one sole right in every wrong

Tis the one frail note in every song

Tis the one small hope in every throng

Tis a reflective portico called apathy

Tis the one unseen star in every night

Tis the one dark ray in every light 

Tis the one bold stand in every fight

Tis the one which knows nought but apathy

Tis the one white cloud in amethyst skies

Tis the one dark truth in deceptive lies

Tis the one fragile life among all that dies

Tis a mirror of sorts names apathy

In marshy alleys where shadows reap 

In lush green forests where willows weep

In pitch blackness where morality does seep 

Lays the solely ancient grudge of apathy

In the fiery blaze of hell's abyss

In the sweet premath of every kiss

In the ignorance which bores nought but bliss

There lies, forever more, apathy

Beautiful, this intricate use of language and its pronunciation is heavenly. I simply pictured myself in a tranquil place with such words breezing through my mind and laid in awe. For you have awakened my imagination and let my hopes for such a place to exist run free again with nothing more than your words.

The images you create should never cease to amaze.

I really like the rhyming scheme. I also love the sense of scale..."amid the endless land..." and "amid the infinite being...".

Kudos. And I have never used that word before, but you deserve it!

I loved the flow and your way of saying apathy
. It's not often I come across a poem like this and when I do I usually get a disapointment. this was no disapointment, thanks for sharing. ☺
