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!

such truth in your words. What we hold true today will fade in the wind of tomorrow. All that begins gets recycled in it's end and something new emerges. truly wonderful write.

[Forest Green]

Indeed...a troubling truth. Yet we march on towards a fading sunset....with even the mountains crumbling before us.

Very well done...casting our regrets to the wind.

Nice work...

I like the direct and very matter-of-fact writing here, and the staccatto rhthym which adds to the power. I love how it builds and builds, and then just fades to black at the end.

[John A Common]

This is epic. I relate to this and I think it is very well written.

[Jetta Zippora]

Wow! Beautiful words! Shimmering write!
