Mercurial

The world is unpredictable.

 

Secrets untold

finally woken.

Stories forgotten

finally revived.

Raging starlight

finally fallen.

Fallen empires

rising again.

 

Ardent sunrays

evanescently fade.

Quiet moonlight

dazzles in grace.

Foreboding darkness

disperses at last.

Dust on pages

turn into ash.

               

Ashes and embers

taint this ground.

Lost legends

finally found.

Drums of dominion

begin to cadence.

Echoes become

shadows of silence.

 

…and everything will change.

Simple yet to the point, forboding even, forshadowing a matter-of-factly stated final line. Everything always changes, it is wounded we are while it happens or different we go along in the process. There a cadence in this piece, but requires that personal thing that gives you and what is definitive of your writing. From your pic you still are discovering the joy that is your inner voice and inspirational talent. Thanks for sharing.

Foreboding... creepy in away. It's not my favorite of your stuff, but it is quite nice.

12:18 am, huh? Make sure it's saved to your computer.

i heard this actually, and a nice presentation, or perhaps a tribute for Immediate Music 'Mercurial'. They'll be proud of this actualization... for their wonderful music.. and a supplementing insights... love the lines you used in these (from previous inspiration, i guess?) it somehow flow athwartly in the notion of a great cadence... INSPIRED guid sa IM..hahahaha! (^^,)
