Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

The Dark Mist Invades

The Dark Mist Invades

And that mist wrapped the highest hill
Where soft grass feed the deer
Tis' Spring morn, still has is waking chill
Where cool breeze strays clear.

A gentle stream slowing trickles on down
Where its many curves wind about
Far away, rests people in a sleepy town
Where often danger flies on out.

And deep within the mighty oak grove below
Where critters dance and play
Nature's way so often takes its heavy toll
Where life or death exist each day.

What of the beauty of grass shining dew
Where often a black bear trods
And man's stupidity, now there are so few
Where death within sleep nods.

What of the coming stains of bitter pills
Where Nature's beauty cast aside
All sacrificed for so many foolish thrills
Where vainly man's soul can hide.

Dark mist invades his bloodied putrid heart
Where ignorance eats and invades
This the evil embraces in its ravaging start
Where dishonor dances in parades.

And that mist wrapped the highest hill
Where soft grass feed the deer
Tis' Spring morn, still has is waking chill
Where cool breeze strays clear.

Lin Lane November 8, 2015 at 8:27 AM Very nice, Robert. I like the 3rd verse...critters dance and play in an oak grove, which is also the place where they could be killed.
