"The Slaughter Of The Ents...A Poem by ChrisNature has a way of changing with one breath... everythingI deleted the pics I had of what brought this poem... the one marking this was "barely" damaged by comparison to the ones I looked upon... by their thousands... “The
Slaughter Of The Ents…”
Just
another eve - December
20 th, 2013 - another
eve… marking
day’s end. A
coming, a
passing THE passing …of…
A
world of magyk - flowing past, crystals
swirling falling …twirling forming… floating
finding fingertips’ grasps. Breaths
- a fog rising …enwrapping… trapping
…shimmers, glimmers… Time beginning
to stand …still enclosing, 'til closing. The
silent silence held taut and fast with
clicks and ticks - that meld and flow growing,
filling, filled ‘til at last Life - is unbearable wait, giving way AND
each crystalline pause reflects the
was - til the fateful rapture rupture’s CRACK!!!
becomes the is… now
- their dying day.
Row
upon row they
walked their world, as
we tended home, they
became the hearth part
and parcel - our soul. And
the littlest of we played,
sang, and lived - dreamed
and dared to
become - as within their harmonies the
very breath that flowed and
echoed within …us and them marked
our comings, tended
our goings. All
our lives they spoke and sang AND
to us we heard and
lived dreams and slept as
their tears nurtured …our lives, and
filled our eyes and hearts ‘til
hope returned and we remembered HOW to
live again… and again.
All
beings pass though
to where or what we
try to know.
Goodbyes
are all we have In
empty hands yet
behind our eyes the memories stand. I
miss each friend …though
each breath still has their
taste and always will.
Perhaps
the winds have new children awaiting
homes within which to dwell and
it’s we that might sing as
they become.
