Children of a lost time

(Children Of a lost time)

 

 

 

One step

Two step

Through scared halls we run,

Playing, spinning around the statues of Gods,

Laughing, Screaming with joy.

The children of a lost time.

 

The pictures now faded and forgotten

The black and whites turned to a dingy brown,

Our laughter and smiles forever imprinted onto our faces.

The laugh lines and creases our badges of youth,

 

Even as old men we still can remember words spoken to us by,

Nymphs and elves hidden in woods deep and old.

Or of the fairies that took us to far away dream lands.

 

Around the pillars of the Gods we danced

Gaily laughing at their fading will.

Giving up immortality like fools

But all for the game.

 

If we where kind

Divinity would step down and dance with us in the wood,

Drinking mead

Wild and free where we,

Not so weighed down by time.

The Gods where fading and we there children bound to die some day.

But all in fun,

We had our time.

 

Never where we tired of game

Living life to a fullest

As free sprits

Our job was due

To exude mirth and youth.

 

With the setting sun we must go,

And wait for another time to come out and play,

We the children of a lost time.

I wish I'd read this back when I was really into Greek Mythology. It has that classical air about it, and summons the feelings I had from then.

 

Nifty.

Wow, this is what I'm talking about! I like this a lot! Great job!

Ooo

 

It was soo good! The images you painted are breathtaking! *swoons*

 

There are some minor things that could use some refining I think, to make it even better (if that were possible) If you really like this poem, you could post it in the workshop to get some critical feedback and rewrite it a few times. I think the subject is wonderful, and the over all feel of the poem is unique.

 

*sighs* i wish it were a story. ^__^
