[bodytext] => An excerpt from my journals ... The Chapter of Man I saw them prey I heard them plead I wrote their names As I watched them leave Elves, Gnomes, Dwarves The elder races, all They could wait no longer Once a minority Man multiplied with careless abandon Spread like a festering disease Consumed all, and moved on They were taught the old ways Of respect and of honor Preservation of the Balances But Man grew restless Began to conquer Each other at first Then waged war against The caretakers Man began to take And quickly forgot to give back Many members of the Elder Races Could stand to watch no further And they sought refuge in other planes Taking with them, the ability to do so As they believed Man could not change his ways They left him to his own devices It nearly broke them to leave Some of the self vanquished Return infrequently To observe Man's decline They find safe harbour With those who still believe Those that still follow Ancient doctrine, the Ancient Code Most of mankind view the Elder Races As myth, as story, as imagined For much time has passed Since their departure Forgotten, would they be Were it not for me And those of my kind Watchers, we are called We scribes of history Observers Cursed with near immortality Cursed with brutally clear memory Cursed to stand forever outside And gaze through hazy windows Documenting all from Corporeal form Unable to change or affect The turning pages of time All that could leave, have Those who stayed behind Are imprisoned In this Man made hell Wishing, dreaming of escape As Man decends even lower Pulling all those who share this world Into His fate [comments] => 9 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 31 [informant] => Nazmythian [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
