The Giants -
they dance tonight.
Days, weeks - years
pass as brief hours
in their long,
still, lives; they stand.
Stand,
and ruminate the quiet ruminations
of the secrets
only the trees recall. The trees
that guard the cottage
on the hill, the trees
that dance
every hundred years.
Inside? Inside that sad,
soon to be vacated,
cottage? Inside dance
the smells of old coffees,
mothballed memories and wood
smokes wrapped comfortably
in the sweet blanket
of melancholic melodies and past
pitches and muds -
Inside, dances the memory
of an Angel - of faded
laughters.
Inside? Inside sits the man
who remembers what even
the trees have forgot.

Post a Comment:: chuckle :: there are times (perhaps) that I think I may have "too" much fun with words; ruminate the quiet ruminations... was certainly one of those time ;-).
Superb free verse with fluid flow, original style, potent imagery, tone and theme with finely extended metaphor---love this line...ruminate the quiet ruminations of the secrets only the trees recall...and how it ties to the closing line, which is powerful. :)
