The execution will be televised
Required viewing, viewer discretion
Will not be advised
And in whispers, you they shall mention.

m'arrive encore un nouveau soir
vision emmurée sur une nuance suave
où un noir rose ou un noir concave
crée en mon cœur une vive mémoire

First I post a #raven #clerihew, & now I'm posting a #mountain #quatrain. Why no limerick today? Beats me!

There are days I feel old as the hills
And I long for those youth-making fountains.
But this contrary thought gives me thrills:
It’s better than old as the mountains.

Embalming Silence

Before the plough, before the flame,
the hills had learned no mortal name.
Stone kept the rain. Roots kept the dead.
Silence was all the earth had said.

Every battle I've fought and won
Is another I must back down from
Guess it's time for me to refit
My tack - jaw clenched on the bit

Colored blocks all strewn about
No rhyme nor reason to be found
One day, there is no room for doubt
From these blocks - dreams will abound.

Mois d’été de chaude sérénité
Puis s’installe le néant, noir.
Le dernier jour d’août brille de soleil
L’espoir d’après renaît.
