The Spring of Enlightenment


Breath taking views Cover the landscapes. Red birds chirp loudly, Green grass Sways in the wind. Beautiful souls, Large oak trees. Inner peace. A yellow rose, And a blanket of snow The brown soil Seeps into the cracks Of broken stones, Allowing for growth, The glassy black rocks still remain A rainy summer With colorful rainbows, Fill the air with a Sense of belonging And eternal hope Blue skies, Remembering of yesterday. Vivid dreams, And dark nightmares. Obituaries flock the air Those lost Are paid tribute to. Legacies and heirs Each one leaving a mark None are ever forgot Enlightenment Embodies the culture. Encouraging curiosity While preserving mankind. Each thought, with modesty in mind. Revolutions fought, Governments kept in check, Promises of a better future, Lures in the people Leading them to destruction. The ultimate sacrifice Is questioned. A new age is rising. The choice is theirs: Good or evil?
