Thread: When Night Had Come Around

Oh how I had went to the rolling hills and
made my way above heaven

I saw a sea of darkness
with boats of lights
swimming in its depth.

The wind then howled,
oh yes how it howled,
and see now that I was not afraid
for these signs
were good tidings from the Lord himself.

I inhaled this wind and let it fill
my lungs
that were hidden in my fragile frame.
The grass moved
in a direction of its
own accord and language,
and I look down upon the Earth once more and saw

It was all a peaceful night.

This was the beginning of time,
when nothing at all was complicated
when all was happy and simple

I laughed to the heavens
and felt euphoria in my heart
for I was now seeing creation
as it was tended to be
in Times of Old

Nothing was supposed to be complicated.
Nothing was supposed to be intertwined
with hatred.

I heard music echoing from the darkness
and a chorus joining it

a snap of time,
and I danced in the cold wind.
the clouds swished
back and forth with their dark appearance
and the grass followed suite
and the sound had grown
so much louder
even when no light of new was there.

Oh yes, they were reuniting with their Creator.

Oh yes, come; I shall wait
and be happy and sad When the times return back,
but for now the music,
grass,
clouds,
people,
everything,
would celebrate for a time…

Well, what an uplifting read - I love the bit about the grasses swaying with their own language - I have seen grass swaying just so, in the wind, and feeling that there was some message there just beyond my grasp -
I enjoyed the positive spirit running through this piece, the longing, the natural world blended with your own thoughts and feelings - really lovely

Read it twice because I liked it so much. Left me breathless. Loved the spiritual connection here, and absolutely loved these lines

Enjoyed a lot. Great work!

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm glad you liked it!

You do have a way of connecting words with a spiritual intent which I very much enjoy.

beautifully done and quite moving. It was like watching a painting come to life.

The imagery in this is amazing. Honestly, I would like to see more of your work!
