While The Good Shepherds Grieve

aDarkerMind

while the good shepherds grieve

their innocence of faith in a gold-horns mouth.

all the dears depart

long-handled pike's more reverend than salt.

the longest grain that spouts the god of flame.

it is once again great spring-time

through the origins of straw.

no name-sake ever poorer

than the pickled eggs of yellow trout

down-stream in heavens camelot

through the cycle of each optimistic mind.

        I like the play of opposites here, a strong underpinning for this poem that for me supports the folly of our beliefs. Good write my friend!

        • aDarkerMind

          and folly it most certainly is Bella.

          many thanks.
