The theme of this poem is close to that of another one I've already posted. It is, however, inspired by a short-story I am currently working upon, called Old Souls. It's a work in progress, but I hope to have it show up here someday. In the meantime, I thought I'd offer up the poem, as it's been quite some time since last I posted.

Old souls
Gone astray
Sleeping now
to wake someday

Tattered aspects
Lost in time.
Last vestige
of dreams sublime.

Ancient powers
Laid to rest
Hidden deep
Neath vale and crest

Forgotten magic
myths once told
Wrapped in depths
of sleep so cold.

Old souls
start to wake
Stir in slumber
Rest forsake

Take again
What once was lost.
Ignore the danger
and the cost.

Renew the world
fulfill your task.
Dream no more
and wake at last.

((Not so great at dancing, so will forego the traditional first-comment dance)) This has an incredible depth in all its simplicity, Jenny... The one thing that I would suggest, though, is that when you're writing rhyming poetry, ending with a "slant rhyme" tends to detract slightly from the beauty of the piece as a whole when all the others in the piece are true rhymes... Overall this conveys, with so very few words, an mood that is almost tangible in its strength... Very nice...

I'm glad you're still writing and hopefully will find some time for Project#6... Send me and email so I can be sure you have the guidelines for Project#6 - a somewhat flexible deadline has been set for the end of April - even if you don't have time until later, you can be thinking about what to write...
