A winnowing of failing light.
To breathe a rapture in my ear
Would break the silence of the night.

I found myself within a wood,
Surrounded by a nocturne ire,
Walking from the place I stood,
In search of freedom from this mire.

A boggy mist encircled me,
While shine, fair Luna did.
I found myself within a sea
Where spirits of the forest hid.

And soon the whisp'ring of my wake
grew louder 'till a voice I heard
Among the misty vapor lake
Distilled to mortal word.

From out the dark a figure came
With presence of a mystic glow.
He stood with light and feathered fame
That all the woodland creatures know.

'Twas nigh but sprite of forest dim
In form of clear and mortal man,
Who came to share a message grim
And warn of lively wan.

The warning that be brought to I
was one of om'nous, ghastly gloom.
A warning that my heart would die
If forward torn I court my doom.

So from that night among the shade
When out the dark I heard a voice,
I've lived my life with equal trade
And levied scales of choice. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 146 [topic] => 13 [informant] => gravehorn [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

A Vision in the First

Hark! The darkness willows there;
A winnowing of failing light.
To breathe a rapture in my ear
Would break the silence of the night.

I found myself within a wood,
Surrounded by a nocturne ire,
Walking from the place I stood,
In search of freedom from this mire.

A boggy mist encircled me,
While shine, fair Luna did.
I found myself within a sea
Where spirits of the forest hid.

And soon the whisp'ring of my wake
grew louder 'till a voice I heard
Among the misty vapor lake

If forward torn I court my doom.

So from that night among the shade
When out the dark I heard a voice,
I've lived my life with equal trade
And levied scales of choice.

At the first read I loved the lyrical tone of your poem, it has an old time feel to it
Then I sat with the dictionary to understand it well coz many of the words u have used are not used commonly :)
But I must say it was worth the effort !
Very fresh rhymes and theme...its like a fantasy.Good work ! keep writing and sharing !
