Ivy Leaves

Written for the "A Thousand Words" contest

As mornings light warms ivy leaves

Our homes of stone they slowly weave

Return the world to Gaia's green

So many visions left unseen

 

From beyond the walls of the up-most tower

An image of timeless mortal power

The gods of time we'll truly be

Yet unforseen thy love for thee

 

Protect my soul from holy fire

Escort me to my one desire

The fear of death does not contest

My only fear to not confess

 

For now he leaves like Winters' Fall

And as with seasons, known by all

To his Love the patient trial

Wanting, Waiting for his arrival.

 

As nights darkness slowly creeps

Into her pillow she softly weeps

For every hour tears at her heart

The years drift by they are apart

 

As mornings light warms ivy leaves

Our homes of stone they slowly weave

Return the world to Gaia's green

So many visions left unseen

This is so old school and I love it! Really well written :)

I love this. It has the feeling of Old-School Shakespearean time and has structure and rhyme. It still paints a picture and stays true to the contest it was entered into. Wonderful job.
