Silently Still - 1. Chapter 1

Anyone care to guess what this is about?

Silently Still

 

She lay there in beauty, silently still

Alone in the calm

Sunrise came and went, silently still

Dark surrounding all

Stars viewed her beauty, silently still

Jealous of her visage

Moonbeams dancing glitter, silently still

Across her frosted cheek

 

Days came and nights went, silently still

Snowflakes covering all

Crickets chirped and birds sang, silently still

Hot sun heating flesh

One arm crossed she lay, silently still

Beauty uncovered vanishing

Months turn to years, silently still

Forgotten beauty fades away

 

She lay there in beauty, silently still

Deathly still.

That was both horrific and beautiful. In my read, someone died alone in the wild, returing to the forever cycle nature. Well done!

Ok, I don't even wanna venture a guess as to who 'she' is. The poem is very well written, congrats thumbsupsmileyanim.gif
The 'she' was a murder victim. The inspiration for the poem was an episode of Cold Case. Thank you for reading and reviewing. :-)

Lol, the poem is about the cycle of decay when a body is left alone in an isolated place. It's part of a series thing so there could be a few more left in me. Thank you for reading and reviewing it. :-)

That was disturbingly beautiful. Silently still. Awesome title, awesome subject, awesome concept. Can you tell that I liked it :)

As I understood it, this 'person' is actually a statue going through all four seasons in the outdoors.

 

Also, it is a quite nice read.

 

Thanks.

Oh, for me the poem caught my fancy, I was back in childhood, seeing SnowWhite and Sleeping Beauty. It was all mystical.
