Mist-Mantled Woods

Mist-mantled woods

A hue that draws your eye

into its sinking depths

Sea-drenched roots

loosened as frayed threads

that reach skyward

A well-full, full of green

Life aplenty after the rains

striking a balance in extremes

Does the Sea

overflow its bounds

From Sky to Earth

To avert, to realign

in the wake of decay

laid by human hands

In the land,

upon the land,

what does the future hold, my Gods?
