My home is here
Where the sun shines eternally
Through trees, branches, & leaves;
The forest behind is cloaked in shadows,
Leaving room for doubt.
You can always find me here,
Sitting, centered & surrounded
In yesterday, now, and tomorrow;
Where heaven’s light continually shines
And time is mine to manipulate.
Resting atop three bronze columns
With ivy delicately weaving ‘round
My…..enchantments encase & protect
The portals of eternity.
Past, present, and future realities
Reveal themselves to me
Divinely.
Taking this crystal cage
I place it upon a time
Of my choosing,
And turning eternity
I pluck from the realities
The moment I seek;
Lifting the cage,
I place it
Carefully
Upon the ledge beside me.
Turning to an unseen force
I ask guidance
Before manipulations are made
In reality.
One must all-ways be careful
When altering
Eternity.

Oh I love where you took that prompt and I agree with you fully that we must take care if we are to alter eternity.
I really do love who you showed the image in your poem, when I look at the pic it fits so well.
Congrats on your well deserved bronze, this is an excellent poem indeed.

Now this is different and very interesting. Perhaps we need the allowance , that imagination and the cover of a dream to alter our Enterinty. In the privacy of our minds we can do almost anything. Splendid write poet.

Oh this is nice! The imagery of this poem is pretty and the flow is also good. I like the moral of the poem..."One must all-ways be careful When altering Eternity". This reminds me of some words my tarot teacher once said in class...he said, everytime he does a tarot reading for someone, he begs God to forgive him if he has said something to alter what is to happen. He always pleads forgiveness. This reminded me of that so I should say this poem resonates for me.
Goodluck in the contest!
