All Shall Fade

All Shall Fade

By Windstorm Kells ©2008

 

One spark trembles

Flames dance animated

Emotions a blazed, boil

Dreams rage with intensity

 

Shape a moment

One instant of time

Eclipse of echoes reveal

Nothing last forever

 

Words sharpen keener then swords

Actions virulent willful of destruction

Deceit overlaying animosity

Truths forgotten on sight

 

Ways of life collapse as grains of sand

Strewed to the four winds

Laughter stained by tears

Crippled, bare, forgotten

 

Mountains crumble from time

Paint fades with each passing sun

Cultures arise in war

Suddenly fall in times of peace

 

Children fight the troubles

Started by their parents

Children of their children rebuild

Only to watch it be destroyed

 

In the end

All shall fade

 

Reviews

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Sorry it took so long to review this. This seems to be my way of thinking these days. Humans just dont seem to understand how much destrcution we have and can do to just about anything. I tend to think that maybe something needs to happen where we would finally snap out of it. Only in a perfect world, I suppose. Awesome write!

[Rhiannon Dragonraine]

Poignant yet beautiful in verse a touching and yet darkly hued poem. I like the description though the flow seemed a little stilted- not sure what to suggest there, though part of me says that the stilted flow goes will with the subject matter. Sorry it took so long for me to get a chance to take a look life has been hectic to say the least. Wonderful work I am glad I took the time today to read through this. Keep up the good work

Very nice poem!

It has a profound meaning, it tells so much truth, and the way you used the stanza's and the font make it impossible to forget!

Really nicely done.

[Kena Dawn Augustine]

kind of reminds me of my poem i wrote called "everything fades away" but mine is dealing with romantic relationships, while yours is regarding something even bigger. i like the font and the way you presented the poem, it pulled me in. The big letters made it really "standout" and the poem itself was wonderfully penned. thanks for sharing.

[Kevin Andros]

[Spilled Her Guts in Cur..]

Great piece! I love your writing.

[Lola Nation]

yes, it's true, kind of the all things shall pass...

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Should be " Nothing lasts forever" and "keener than swords" but a true piece of vanitas; that art that settles on the transitory nature of life. excellent.
