Poetry

Slavic Countryside

To know that the mist would

Rise from the dampened dirt

In the strange garden of

The dead, weighed down

By tilted crosses under

The dimly darkened sky

The dead willow sheds

No more tears against

Ancient stones

 

Her halo matches the mist

A sad bold radiance over the

Faceless face atop the husk

Fragile arms outstretched

The beauty of bird-like wings

Ready to raise the spirit

Towards heaven

 

The Slavic countryside

Hides

Under

Neath

  1. The Slavic countryside/Hide Underneath – That tells all the tale of an ancient history. Nice one Michael.
