Song of the Wyrd by Silferras

Runner Up for July 2006

The sussuration of leaves as they rustle over
earth dark with the blood of the world and
musky with the scent of the eons

The whisper of water as it flows over
rock stippled with the lines of the enduring and
smooth with the movement of the ages

The sighing of wind as it dances over
canopies layered with the intricacies of shadow and
swaying with the melody of the ancients

The hissing of feathers as they slide over
feathers inky with the shroud of the night and
edged with the passage of eternity

The pulsing of wyrd
as it sings from the trees
and the streams and the breeze
Of life.
