The Magic of Old

Flames are dancing in the dark

blowing in the air

secrets hiding in shadows

though i'm not sure quite from where.

Waves are rolling at the shore

licking at the sand

the grains tell of times before time

as if by sheer demand.

Wind blows through the looming trees

gently touching leaves with cold

both memories of love and hate

are found within these words of old.

Earth does dance within the wind

it burns within the flame

it flows within a fist if mud

but is never once the same.

This magic has long dissappeared

but it's message carried along

in that sense, magic of old

is never truly gone.

Wow, that was very great. Awesome imagery. I have a feeling I may have to come back and read it again later.
