Traversing the Kingdom

by Cayson Miles

 

 

shards of clay

grass clippings 

bright green fields with gentle winds

apple trees with harsh jagged cuts

forgotten statues of deities 

rusting relics that stare 

decrepit houses falling in on themselves

wild horses roam through the rain 

a jagged cliffside 

massive stone bridges that stand strong

a resilient blue flower creeps back into existence 

foxes and deer and birds and wolves live against all odds

spirits of mountains and shadows of dragons 

hot springs that soothe tired skin

watchtowers and campfires 

a castle, sieged. 


Familiar sights when breathed in

change too much when exhaled.
