I lost my way
Following the path
Winding night and day
Away from dear hearth
Whistling strong
The wind held my breath
I stopped to throng
And catch my breath
A landscape of trees
Grass flooding the fields
Like warriors crafting seas
Of axes, swords and shields
The sun throbbed bright
Hanging over the horizon
A tasteful, golden light
Rays of such powerful vision
Like a wonderful mutiny
Long shadows being cast
A scene of horrifying beauty
Night approached fast
Desolate darkness so strange
The face of wilderness under a hood
The terrain began to change
But it wasn’t for the good
Fog drifted across the sky
Like hell-bound clouds above
The glades cracked dry
A war of evil against love
Birch wood shrivelled grey
As nature became a prey
Leaves withered to brown
Rain crashed and spewed down
Freezing into sleet and frost
All of the meadows were found to be lost

Sounds depressing. People can go to dark places sometimes.
I agree, even if they don't intend to, thanks.
The disembarkation of a horde of vikings ! I love this landscape !
Thank you!
It comes across to me as the contrasts of some one mind in that the day brings hope and sunshine, but the night brings the demons and fear, whatever it meant i really enjoyed the read, it is a lovely poem
Honestly I had no idea what I meant by the poem, random thoughts just came, I guess it's for the reader to interpret. But thank you very much!
You are very welcome
Beautifully rendered with a subtle intrigue haunting its trail down the page, superb imagery tricking out the drama unfolding darkly to an almost heinous close whose poignancy grapples for the soul. Thank you very much for sharing!
Thank you so much! It means a lot coming from a poet like you; I appreciate your words.
You're very welcome. My pleasure.
