Evermore
I hear this name
Evermore
It calls on my imagination
A place of grace and beauty
Where all living
Lives in exultation
Fragrant flowers
Sprinkle the hillsides
Glorifying all life
Green forests
Hanging heavy with dew
Atop mountains under the sky an azure blue
Soaring birds
Kissing the sky
Swooping down catching there prize
Where the people
Dance with joy
Darkness doesn't live here
It was cast out long ago
By the man in the mist
Now the people live as kin
There are angels
Wards of this place
It is a state of grace
One of union
Communning
As one under the golden sun
Singing the song
Of ages
Remembering all history
Once written on paper
Now scribed on the heart
Of every person
History remembered
Wars abohorred
The door slammed on this tragedy
They now live in peace

The last couplet is unneeded (in my opinion) but other than that this is wonderful. A profound and serene philosophical verse. I think you've found your artistic niche with these tercet structures, each one containing a specific image and thought, and when multiplied creating a divine narrative. "Darkness doesn't live here". Perfect.

Thank you Jack for your beautiful comments..I couldn't part with the last couplet even though it messes with the tercet flow..thank you for your honest reviews as always.. :) peace Crim

Of course if you hold a deep connection with it then you shouldn't surrender it regardless what anyone says. Your own counsel is the best, sometimes.
