Legend
Written: April 1st For Legend Silent One contest
Rumi Quote: Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Legend whispers airily, of a time gone by,
When overwhelming zest, is heavy to deny.
Gathered and swirled—an area's embrace,
Until that ratling place, met its final trace.
Living things, how depressing and bleak.
In shadows they dwell, their spirits weak.
Existence casts a shadow of fear and strife.
Melting light onto the tapestry of life.
Legends tell a narrative of mystery and grace.
Mysterious spots have secrets, across space.
A game played in shadows and light.
A lovely day-night waltz of illusory and might.
Oh, to become fulfilled,
A journey of the heart,
Where dreams and desires are distilled,
And life's purpose finds its start.
Unpredictable, the outcome lies,
A mystery hidden from our eyes.
In the realm of uncertainty, dwells,
As the hidden tale of destiny tells.
Legends never die, heroes are remembered,
In tales and songs, their spirits tempered.
Through time embrace, their stories thrive,
In hearts and minds, they forever strive.
Legends, eternal and inspired,
Never weary, never retired.
Legends, eternal and grand,
Never falter, never lose their stand.
When legends wither, dreams do fade,
No additional greatness in their shade.
In every crag and gnarled tree,
In every rootless valley, you foresee,
Legends, as Haggard, do exist, do overflow
Jones, Rumi, and Sinatra: names that dance upon glow
A trio of souls, each unique, In their artistry,
Rumi poetry may melt souls heartedly.
Through every obstacle that may arise,
You'll find the strength to reach the skies.
With courage and grace, be ready to leap,
Over the obstacles that in your path creep.
And I ponder what doth set apart,
The legends, from the artists of mere heart.
Success, oh success, It's all in how you manage, no less.
With grace and skill, you must possess.
