Their Once Great Land

The night is filled with a wonderous mystery. 

When we close our eyes and drift away

To a land far away

Something wakes up.

We need sleep. We crave sleep.

At one point we all have to sleep.

So they wait and they're patient,

The trees and the flowers

The bushes and the weeds

They're patient.

When the world is silent and the parasites have left

The true rulers of this world arise

Taking back their domain.

The trees and the flowers

The bushes and the weeds

Reclaim what was once theirs.

They shake off their ropes and restrains

Put down the tree forts and swings

And roam their once great land

Reminiscing of a time when they were

More than a decoration

When they were the rulers of this 

Long lost world.

Wow Anna this is thought provoking..

"They shake off their ropes and restrains

Thank you so much

Haunting and darkly beautiful.
I also like your quote at the top of the page
about God.

I see you caught the message, thank you for your words.
And also thank you for acknowledging/liking my quote. I was talking to someone who is completely against any type of religion because there is no "proof" of God. So i said this to him and told him to never be close minded. He had no reply.

I try to avoid conversations about God--I mean with people who scorn the existence of a Deity. But sometimes I'll say: "Do you believe in wind?" And this person will look puzzled. Then I'll say: "You can't see the wind itself but you can see all the things that wind is capable of. Same with God."

Agreed. I do try to avoid it most of the time, but this person wanted to hear my opinion, and it was very causal until they got mad. so i ended it right away. But yes, there are many things that are true but we have no way to see it or prove it, but we believe it

Poignancy lingers here, like tendrils wanting to flower

I love the theme! and you tackled it head on

Thank you, your words are appreciated
