A hush settles over the fields of tranquility
Soundless drumbeats arresting times progress
The feel of rapid movement without motion
A sense of dread fills the minds of shiftless travelers
Hearts beat in time with the stillness that refused to remain
Minds wandering to the places that swallowed the echo of memories
Unable to pull back once committed to the path
Where sound was a distant nothingness
There, but felt more than heard
A whisper that shatters the peace of this place
And all is changed, time moves on as do we all.
Author notes
I'm sorry it's not exactly my best piece, I couldn't get it quite in line with the sample poem, but I am a bit rusty, so please don't hate it too much.
