Silent as Soil.

By TheProphetUntold

Day breaks nightside fires'
smoldered hissing whispers spent,
embers gleaming gold.


Smoke swirls swaying pine
choking rhythm and wisdom
restless and foiled.



+--+


Sun-rent horizon
disembowels star and cloud
fog and water roil.


Birdsong death rattle
echoes under the conscious
silent as soil.

    This is truly a fantastic late autumn poem. Winter's breath can be felt and we are reminded of our fragile mortality. Brilliant as ever.

    Truly speaks to the cyclical inevitability of life and death: dour, yet beautiful, too. As always, I'm in awe of your words, glad to see you still frequenting these parts. Scholar
