Midsummer's Twilight

by Ramihrdus

/
1.
A dawning day, a frigid night The cold water and evening mist A forest weeps into the sky Night’s sky drips into the light The cold water and evening mist Frozen tongue of Freya’s kiss Night’s sky drips into the light Water touching roots that twist Frozen tongue of Freya’s kiss Trees bending in the light Water touching roots that twist The cold grip of our fear Trees bending in the light A forest weeps into the sky The cold grip of our fear A dawning day, a frigid night

Our progress knows no limits Scorched earth and endless war The trees of of the land watch As fires burn them even more In a peaceful valley Once untouched by man The leaves echo their cries As this virus infects the land We choose to continue this An endless conquest of earth Sucking the ground dry And destroying since birth When we stand in the forest Our senses will awaken But some of us can not hear What the planet says to us At any cost we must choose What side we are on Progress has no patience And the forest cannot carry on The tears fall from the sky As the gods call out our name Crying for the earth forsaken As the leaders carry no shame

Red Embers 08:13
I woke up to candlelight And burning embers A red flame reflected Deep within your eyes Flames of a gentle breeze Caress her fair skin Like grass in the wind Glowing in the night A blue sky Turns cold and orange As rain drops fell Onto her face Across the field An empty grove Of blooming flowers Secretly grow I grieve the time That the earth had gave us The slow passing Slowly healing the wound Without the knowledge We now hang on to My mind is freed To wander the calm She turns her head And looks past me The haze between us Blocks our view A greenish glow Illuminates the ground Flickering lights Shine on her face Growing weaker And becoming numb I turn away now And watch her travel home Her face turns One last time A single tear Streams down her cheek Her face Is killing me

In the night Not far from home She wanders by And the trees sway As darkness grows The light retreats From between the trees I feel her hand As the cold breeze Descends from the sky Restlessly wandering Into the forest As the dirt sinks Beneath her feet A soft wind Blows through the leaves Winters cold embrace Underneath her skin Awakened by her touch She reaches down Into the cold waters A cold embrace Against a gray sky As a cold moon Illuminates her eyes A cold moon Reaching into my thoughts Death wanders aimlessly Through the woods Stalking my ghost Stalking the cold, gray, hard dirt Reaching into my skull Reaching into my soul again
5.
Between the suns rays In a reflection on the wall My hands stretch out As the evening fades There silence fell My instincts failed to speak Her eyes lost the shine That had made me weak In a moment that’s passed It lives on in my mind Never looking past Always looking behind There are no words to speak But things that need to be heard Sheltering every single thought Every lasting memory of her In the spread of my bed Or the endless forest haze I blindly wander on Hoping that I can end this phase As the years have passed Time has stayed still The ringing in my ears Continue to grow shrill And while she speaks to me I can only hear the past The words she said to me During a time that couldn’t last
6.
In the wake of a war In the ashes of morning A chill rises from the soil And contaminates the air The morning breeze is still Before the suns first rays Gleaming in the water Reflecting off the leaves A hand rises from the ground An earthly grave of old The ghost of the forest From the stories of old In the silent morning haze A thousand whispers cease Birds will raise their voice Softly will they weep A white mist from the grave A tomb of frost and roots Underneath the fallen trees The eyes of dawn now look A breeze picks up again A voice comes from the north Freya’s song of spring An ancient forest force Walking in the woods The trees begin to sway In a mist of gray and white The ground begins to change The pain of wanting her Silent screams from Earth Footprints in the grass The trees and mist will birth I can see your shadow Follow me to the grave
