A little something I wrote

     After much deliberation... I bring you poetry. After coming to college I stopped writing. My old laptop was full of character historys, parts of their past, the palce we would all meet for tea. There were pages of poetry and scatter-brained sentance fragments floating around. Now, there are a surplus of academic essays, lab reports and scholarly articles about bees and ericoid mycorrhizal fungi diversity.
An imaginative wasteland
       So I've decided to change that. The Frankenstine of my words shall live again! (Feel free to evil laugh) Anyways, my goal with what I pen is to transport you to another place, and constructive critisism is welcome! These are pretty much rough-drafts, but when I finalize something it'll be here and here. (There's a longer piece in the works that I'll get to, that I'm hoping to illustrate, more on that later, post-editing).
I.
Feel the wild places on your skin
Hollow places seeking heat within
Deeply turning in fogs of doom
By lightening boom, heralds sing
Welcome again to the King
Wild places joy again
Long lost the fear, the pain within
Aching for untold sin
Never to end, never to begin
In deep dark forests, spirits wait
For pale weak souls to find their peace
Not minding time or place
Ignoring the summons of a rhyme
Crackling songs unknown to those
Lost in wild places under creeping boughs
Birds flit softly here and there
But naught land for shame of fire here.
