Still

These woods do not breathe Song of leaf on wind No melody falls Colors do not stir Apart, in shadow Path crumbling No stones to guide Heavy gray light Where ghosts whisper In secret Where the land Keeps quiet Where the Birds are Still. 1/18/19 For Diminished Hexaverse contest Sponsor: charles messina

Haunting, wonderful winner, Michelle. An instant FAVE for me. It's chilled me to the bone, but in a profoundly reflective way. So well-done. Best wishes, Gershon
