Worlds Apart

Silent is the stand, gentle is the gaze 
The view of the meadow is grand, in oh so very many ways 
The person looks on, all is as it was 

Gentle and green grass, dancing every day 
Resplendent river of rich mass, safariing without a stay 
Soothing sun’s soft seal, seeding spirit so 
Hearty and halcyon hills heal, fostering faith and fancy’s flow 
Fervent flowers flirt, fetching fair fondness 

Many sunrises, many moonrises

Silent is the stand, gelid is the glare 
The view of the meadow is bland, with oh so very little there 
The person looks on, forever blinded 

Grating green grass grasps, conforming cluster 
Rudimental river raves rasps, lolling and lacking all luster 
Stinging sun’s sharp seal, scorching spirits so 
Haughty and harsh hills are all heel, fostering fear and feral’s flow 
Feigned flowers flaunt fast, fetching feeble fools 

Forever meadow, forever human

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
