New Light

How you view it...

The rain whispers

the sun shines

the trees remain silent.

ありがとうみなさ�"。

Thank you everyone.

Without words -

much can be said.

Without words -

one remains dead.

Among the throne

Commoners weep.

Within the crown

'er Majesty sleeps.

With wonder anon'

sweet thoughts drift...

with sacrifice comes courage

and also it slips.

What remains it time

is how you live.

The secrets you hold,

pass on to your kin.

Yet one never believes

the end is near.

Nay. with a blink

you may disappear.

S'il vous plait, attention,

nothing is simply done.

Yet what is right

may spark a gleam.

Please remember

thy words are steam.

Whisp-ing through time

though nothing has changed.

Everything's different

yet everything's changed.

Other's are controlled

like roots on a tree.

If one is uprooted

the Earth screams.

Deem what is right

what is unseen.

You may be a peasant

or a royal - unclean.

Yet in the end

we are all one.

One with each other 

One with the sun.

In many years

nothing has changed.

We are all human

we remain the same.

Rulers come

Death overtakes.

Loves is full

yet in blood it shakes.

Life is heart

yet sacrifice it makes.

Living without

yet burning in flames.

Cruel are the humans

all whom walk the Earth.

For nothing is changed

nothing is done.

Render your hopes

Express passion anon!

Whisper unto the elders

all you've become.

Bleed within

the emotions that tear.

Understand

your are not only here.

Courge and virtue

lost in this mist.

Among the tragedies

the world is amiss!

Leave thy love

Sacrifice none.

Hope for life

Die in strife.

What have we become?

Where are we to run?

[Divinity Sleeps in This]

This had an anonymous beautiful neutrality that transcends time. Not to mention a druidic Yeats-quality?

Some verses work much better than others in your interesting poem. Generally the flow is good, but sometimes you cut the rhythm, like in the 9th verse, ending "screams"... maybe think of altering so the rhythm is better.

Also, the line "and also it slips." is weak in comparison to the rest of the verse, made so by "also".

Your poem has loads of potential, and is well-written. Thank you for sharing.

I love your thougths. You write of paradox, of truth, of history, all in relation to the human element. A touch of Old English gives this piece a unique flavor. Well done.

Ah emotion ruling the day I can relate to a life led from emotion and tempered with rule
