Distance.

Distance is the moor stretching away,
Empty even of loneliness,
Stark and silent in the weak winter sun.
On the periphery of my vision
The crows have gathered,
Deep black on virgin white they soulfully cry,
Each drawn out murmur echoing in the silence,
Until, with a final vicious shriek,
The echo fades to nothing.
And the silence, restored, crosses continents of ice
And settles in the snow by the river bank.
Distance is the moor emerging through the dawn,
Docile still with December sleep,
Ice crossed and wearily dragging a shadow
Across sky, across lake and fields
Where even morning is reluctant to rise.
And there, in a spot beyond vision,
The horizon cries out under stony outcrops,
The fields, enveloped by mist, are haunted by stamping hoofs
In the hardness of frost,
Haunted by the season's weary lament.

Very well written poem! Very powerful and the theme of distance and far, wide spaces has been covered very well with some imaginative descriptions. I particularly liked this one line,
"Empty even of loneliness"
That is great writing. |
