Once more,
Once again,
I will see that the stars
Shine
Bright over the waves,
And the trees,
And the clouds.
I will see the rocky coast,
I will see the barren beach,
Filled with life, far from an empty ghost,
Now dry and barren by a two-legged leech.
I will see the forest vast,
I will see the jungle green,
Grown to prosper, flourish, thrive, and last,
Now petrified into a grayer sheen.
I will see the morning sun,
I will see the starry night,
Shining far before our world begun,
Now darkly hidden by a duller light.
The dark scythe will be joined
By the glistening hoe.
Apollo shall shine,
And Zephyrus blow.
The angels fierce of lighting and rain
Of crystalline streams
Of bright moonlit dreams
Shall blow into life once again.
The swallows will circle,
The frogs sing like kings,
The robins will soar
With their flame-colored wings.
Fall will spring forward
To Spring’s sweet romance.
Summer and Winter
Will share a quick glance.
Gaia in glory
Shall spin through her dance.
Once more,
Once again,
I will see that the stars
Shine
Bright over oceans
And mountains
And skies.
Skies that shall open
Till the swift robin flies.

Haha thank you both! :D these last two poems were the first ones where I really tried to pay attention to literary devices and diction and allusions and stuff. :) I'm glad you liked it!
Wow Vishesh, Brilliant. Like Sejal, I like the Apollo and zephyr (You know I'm a greek myth fanatic). Good job, keep writing
