Moonlight, slipped through darkness
Cast to a lake
Near forests of old bury dreams
Forgotten pasts
And futures yet to be seen

Keeled in the dirt
There all alone
Hands and knees
Struck with a coldness

The water
Flowed far and wide
To places unheard of
And unseen
By the naked eye

Grasping a stone
Held in a palm
Throw to watery surface
Skipped along joyfully

Not knowing
Doomed to drown
As it sent out its ripples
Of its last cry of pain

Totally lost
Forgotten to this world
Only remembered
By the one that looked on

A tear cried
Rolling to this lake
Where gathered tears
Travel to a place

Turning the tears
Into new born life
Not wasting a drop
Nor the sadness held inside

Stood to the raising sun
Warmth engulfed this soul
Bringing peace
To this once depressed being

A new day began
This gift from above
Not time to leave this place
To see the heavens above

A question still remains
In this now forgiven mind
When will it end
What be the time

Once held a death
Of a stone in there hands
Will it be the same
When they leave this land

Cast away for fun
By a greater stronger being
Killed by the god
He obeys everyday

Maybe if no sin is done
He’ll survive
Forever immortally
Saved for the loyal ones

"Moonlight, slipped through darkness
Cast to a lake
Near forests of old bury dreams
Forgotten pasts
And futures yet to be seen"

~ A beautiful opening stanza that pulls the reader right in.

Many marvellously descriptive passages. Your ponderings show that you are not just a "pretty face"!
