This poem was written for my World of Endar online, interactive narrative. I haven't finished the online novel, but I have a few poems for it. My picture on here is actually one of my Endar characters called Elista. She's one of the blue elves and a major character in the series.
old and new, waiting for you
over the hills and under the sun
waiting for you as life has just begun
waiting for you as long as can be
waiting for you and waiting for me
here again we go together my friend
through these woods deep as sorrow
here again we travel away into every day
through mountains and glens unto tomorrow
gilding and golden, sapling in green
dusty and dark, white into stark
the colors abound throughout our journey
spreading into our hearts at what has been seen
making us age at wisdom's stages
here we shall see all of life's majesty
in the oceans and ponds and what is beyond
footsteps echoing onto hard ground
voices fading out until they have no sound
finally we arrive where we started before
facing each other the same yet we've changed
one of us lives, one of us cries
the other lies down in the cold ground and dies
