The Wayward Shall in Stillness Rise Eternal

Spring, lifeless in palm Rendered inarticulate By winter held hard ~the~ Erroneous truth Breath of light traces the mind Opens eye upward ~wayward~ Icon, tomb of flesh Buries the heart, withers love Weeping silence blind ~shall~ In red cut fields strike The fallen shield, kin in death Haunting song lament ~in stillness~ Raise the sea skyward Seduce in brutal madness Thunder sings soundless ~rise~ And scream into light A beating distant land, where Dormant blooms tremble ~eternal~

Mat, your poem is a amazing journey through seasons and emotions. The stark contrast between spring's lifelessness and winter's grip is beautifully depicted. The imagery of the wayward icon, tomb of flesh, and weeping silence adds layers of complexity. Your strategically use words to convey the rise into stillness and the eternal bloom is masterful. An evocative piece that resonates with me with depth and emotion. - Blessings, Daniel
