On drum beat time

Played to the beat of distant drums...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dancing death has shown its face

Resting in a dreamless place

Under skies of golden hue

Meandering meadows of crystal dew…

 

My coriander eyes have seen

A vision vast in fields of green

Janus opens wide the door

On teeming life in yonder moor…

 

Rid the world of sorrow's face

Playing odes to a rhythm pace

On drum beat time of greening grace

Dancing death has left this place…

haunting ..your meter and rhyme is perfection itself..

[CarrieLynn {Chameleon A..]

just...breathtaking! The words used makes the poem have a strong impact...Great write! :)

Firstly, a sadness picture, quite hard to look at .. so I suppose, very appropriate to the initial tone of your poem.

There's almost a ring of desperation in this, a grey no end to the tunnel feeling.. yet by the end and, reading your note, there's a touch of hope upon hope upon hope. We all need to hold hope close to the heart ..

This is an incredibly moving poem.

I agree with your words. We can't live in the memory of death and sorrow. Need to look at life with hope. A outstanding poem. Thank you.
