Poem Title:
Poem
Waves crash on the rocky shore Beyond the dunes there is moor This land knew both peace and war In ironic and insipid clash with calm on ocean floor Is storm on the land in full fury But it will blow over without becoming truly angry It will give golden fields of grain Much needed rain Standing like a beacon on a hill Is a large windmill Nearby there is stone ring Build by some ancient king In the center of the meadow Casting a shadow There is birch tree Who’s subtle leaves project mysterious majesty The tree is testament to time And the whole island is defined by time It stands alone in vast ocean but not as vast as time It is also forgotten by time But what makes it sublime When you watch birch tree you can almost smell time When you remember it as a small shoot now a tree And on the mainland how things have changed you see But here noting is different than before Windmill still stands upon the hill nearby rocky shore The coral reef still ornaments ocean floor Stone ring replaces calendar as it did millenniums before But there is more Time here is different than on any other shore Defined by orb of light It is longer than in any other light Time is absolute Everything in it its business will execute But number previously absolute Here will grow for this is light’s attribute And previously absolute number will nourish like a rain That falls on the golden grain It will nourish the neural flame Whose status timeless became In time everything gets old The tree the windmill the grains of gold But in stone ring flame will not dissipate in time Because it is in cahoots with very time
