Mahogany Leaves and Calm Waters
January 31, 2008
Dreams guarded against reality And when she fades An empty forest remains A mahogany leaf floats from an old mallorn On top of the calm waters of a pond With a whisper so soft to hear But with an impact directly heartrending Despite the coming autumn of the North She still holds strong in persistence Her faint melody that once made the forest thrive... The voice that always cherished her children Within those who dwell there Is a shard of the forest's life Guided by an Elf Queen so fair Who departed her lands to seek peace from strife As the night grows she remembers her loves Falling to slumber's whims as she finally slept Letting go of the painful lies... Permitting autumn to linger

this is a really beautiful poem, but its almost as if it is too repeated, i think more detail & a clearer image would make this poem near perfect.
