Poetry of an Aloof Junior by Z.M.G. (old books to read txt) 📕

"Spirit of Earth"

“Pebble”
A small piece of stone,
Sitting among the sands of time,
Loyal to its post.

“Rock”
Standing firm at watch,
Gazing at the passersby,
Silent and alert.

“Boulder”
Sentinel of stone,
Still; motionless guardian,
Always protecting.

“Crag”
Patient exam’ner,
Great gazer of the world,
Tow’ring overseer.

“Mountain”
Strong and loyal guard,
A grand monitor of time,
Touching the heavens.

“Land”
Recording lives, deaths,
Observer of the eons,
Forever watching.

"Spirit of Fire"

“Ember”
A faint ember sparks,
Flickering in the darkness,
Brightening, dimming.

“Flame”
And thus it strengthens,
A warm flame in a cold realm,
Burning warm and soft.

“Fire”
So now it rises,
A force lighting the darkness,
Bright and strong; warm strength.

“Blaze”
It spreads rapidly,
Blazing away cold and fear,
Alighting the night.

“Inferno”
A power unmatched,
Shining of strength and courage,
Searing the darkness.

“Pyre”
Purest of fire,
Lighting dark; heavenly flame,
Warm, tender, pure love.

"Spirit of Water"

“Rain”
Falling tenderly,
Peaceful pattering,
Gentle and soothing.

“River”
Flowing swift and free,
Unabated and uncaged,
Yet tame and serene.

“Lake”
Still, quiet; rippling,
A pool of motionless calm,
Reflective world.

“Oasis”
Stirring with the sands,
Sanctum amidst the chaos,
Hermit of the times.

“Sea”
Powerful currents,
Coursing the heavenly flow,
Ebbing and flowing.

“Ocean”
Servant of moon’s tides,
Transcendent tranquility,
Strength of the eons.

"Writings of Time"

“A Rivered Ocean”
Time wisps, flows, fathoms,
Coursing an endless labyrinth,
Ne’er still, ever tranquil.

“Timely Magic”
It washes over,
Healing, cooling, preparing,
Making a steeled rose.

Lullaby

"Lullaby"

Sleep, sleep, sleep, my little one,
Close your eyes and rest your head,
Dream, dream, dream, my little one,
Of things anew ‘til ‘morrow morn’,
When you wake, you shall find,
A new day, bright with shine.
