Elysian Fields;

Elysian Fields;

A Poem by Jimi Brady
"

Part poem, part song.

"

Dark words;
Tomorrow carried on carrion wings,
Grey winds scattering the herds,
Towers collapsing on their kings


Fields of gold;
Spiraling upwards the monuments of old
Like spears rending wormholes in the sky,
Dark flecks of light across their eyes


Dark wings;
Eyes ionized like red suns,
Crows gathering with black tidings,
The old gods weeping for their fallen sons


Fields of moonlight;
Plains of grass aglow 
Willows cascading on the hillside
Blue fireflies to mark the end road


To Elysium;
Waking from a colder delirium,
Memories of fields blue and dark,
Brothers travelling north to depart
On echoed waters under the eyes
Of the old gods to bid them rise;
To bid their eternal sons to rise.

I really enjoy using subtitles within poems, as I've done here. This poem is also a song I've written.

Such a place of purest happiness sought across the stones and shadows... found singing to us from across the ages... Your words reflect both a modern and ancient feel that stirs the soul.
