Ashen Prophecy

Legend has foretold, 
The hazy illumination...of a silver harvest-moon,
Shall give rise...to the sprouting of the chosen one.

Harvested in a magical field,
In an enchanted hollow:
The breeze whispers the eerie oracle of the witch. 

And within its pallid body,
Dwells the seeds of everlasting life.

I could see this spoken as narrative, it is that good. I wish Rod Serling or Boris Karloff was alive to deliver this. It might ease the quease down your backbone. Light, yet potent. I like it. regards, Gerard.

You're too good, Raul!!! You have set the bar high. Your White Pumpkin contest is a great challenge. It's so good to be back into my home-niche for a few days so I can read poetry. Thanks for sharing. Lovingly, Dane
