Ruins
Slowly sinking
Softly falling
Winds stirring
Fountains pouring
Over onto unpaved roads
Hooves beating
Un-trodden ground
Steadily climbing
Not a sound
The silent roar of the mountains
The desperate unheard screams of the wind
Passion like a raging fire
Burns the silent hills within
To stand and touch
The ageless stone
The timeless tree
The ever restless sea
The mighty empire
Fixed upon a silent hill
In awe and majesty
For all to gaze in wonder
The ruins of crumbled stone
And windswept ash
Strewn upon the moonlit plains
Tears unshed
For days unlived
Caught beneath the watchers gaze
The breath before untimely plunge
The leap before the fall
What no one heeded
No one wanted
Would some how come to all
The light of redemption
To bring the mighty to their knees
The thrones of glory
Shattered and over
Upon the plains
Slowly sinking
Softly falling
Winds stirring
Fountains pouring
Over onto unpaved roads
