Secrets of the Ancients
Ancient civilizations fascinate young and old minds alike. The mythology, the traditions, the language; everything exudes magic and mystery. Write something that gives off that hint of ancient magical mystery, whether it be about mythology, technology, figures like Plato, or a civilization as a whole. Fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose. Remember to tag me in the comments. :)
Memories of Myth
Far within a forest,
Lined with crimson trees,
There lies a deep cave
Stretching for miles and miles,
Lit from the glow of gentle crystals,
It goes on and on
Along the stone walls
There are markings,
Carvings from a different age,
Each with a story to convey
Legends of old, eras of myth,
Times when gods ruled
All kept through the drawings
Of those who lived through
Records of a time,
Once known,
Now lost
The images will always be there
To remind
It is in this cave,
Surrounded by trees of crimson leaves,
That these precious memories
Will forever remain
