Stone horizons

In the massed crags, silent—
I watch the budding of isotopes
scraping feeble echoes
from the seafront.

Faces, mossed bodies expressionless
in the forbidden dawn.
Graphite lion,
behold your pearl lioness:
let her
etch you away.
While I paint the scene of tremors,
gather strength for yore's decay.

To flower your feverish past,
postcard of the fallacious ice.
Aquamancy censored,
made dense at the crag's advice.

I know between coils of spring
the excitement of song made sea.
I found in consorting with stones,
The spirits they harbor are free.

I find this poem dense, like the emotions it harbors. The allegory that recreates the wall in consonance with the charged clouds indicates continuous or permanent clash or interpenetration between elements that, naturally, come together in the heights with the consequent result of: intense cold, fog, fine and persistent rain and, in some cases, hail. Taking this panorama to the metaphorical plane, I perceive the threat of an internal storm for known, recognized and even family reasons, if you will, because they are peaks that have been dealt with since ancient times.

While I paint the scene of tremors,
gather strength for yore's decay.

The relationship between writing and images is excellent and they announce that a cloudy storm is in progress due to a condition as natural as old, with the awareness that doing a self-examination, this time there is no apparent reason for this crisis.

I found in consorting with stones,
The spirits they harbor are free.

Fortaleza, @d-pend. You are great and we love you.

Beautiful poem that make you feel the endless range of rocks and mountains, covered with silver clouds, passing quick with the wind. The silence that dominating there, that you do not really want to disturb, you never know what can happen. But on other side you can't stand not to shout and hear echo reflecting from those majestic stone wall of Fjords. Beautiful pictures passing so good to your poem @d-pend.

Good word synchronization @d-pend I have always said:
A single verse can remain latent in our memory until one day it understands its meaning.
Poetry can be complicated for those who do not understand its complexity. Poetry lends itself to open our imagination and explore a world of fantasy.

Another wonderful gaze through the eyes of the Creator @d-pend. If you put half of that energy into songwriting, you would create previously unseen heights of success in that world. But your perfect here:) I hope life's good!

I like the rhyme in the last stanza - it seems like it falls into place nicely, like brush strokes or etched by waves, naturally, and yet the result is appealing. Those timeless, expressionless faces and the lions and mossed crags are memorable images.

@d-pend,

I know between coils of spring
the excitement of song made sea.
I found in consorting with stones,
The spirits they harbor are free.

Gorgeous.

I wonder how you wrote this article. I feel your nature as a human being or it could be the effect of playing dota and yoga.

I really enjoyed the rhythm of the last stanza. The imagery was great, and the and the metaphor of the lions really fit well with it. Good write.

Thanks! I haven't given up on it. I've been doing something I should've finished a long time ago and getting my TEFL certification (Teaching English as a Foreign Language.) I've waited to talk about it because I want to announce it once I know what the deal will be exactly. As far as restarting classes I'm not sure at the moment but for right now I can't lead them. Hope you and the fur-kids are OK! Talk soon :-)
