Disclaimer: Teen Titans isn't mine
I was on vacation somewhere recently and the scenery was pretty inspiring, so I wrote a few poems about some of the various places...
Mostly, these are centered around Raven - no surprise there - and Robin, who makes some guest appearances.
I'll probably post one a day (in addition to working on my other stories so don't complain...) and there are seven in total, so yeah... '-'
Morning light, breaking through the shadowed leaves.
Though the deep, deep valley, vibrant color cleaves.
Birds call, banishing the night, slowly, slowly, taking flight,
Into the rising white from the sun's fair-eyed sight.
Violet eyes open with the coming of the new day,
Reflecting, in those darkened irises, the pink and crimson ray -
From daybreak, cascading over the darkened vale,
Shining on her ivory skin, a radiance oh so pale.
Breath of fresh life, she sniffs at the air,
Eyes glowing with delight, wind blowing through her hair.
Half shadowed, half bright, she stands, a motionless raven,
Here in this secluded valley, a solitary haven.
Around, the trees rustle; around, the forest stirs,
And softly, softly, the earth murmurs.
She sings gently, she smiles;
She looks up at the light streaming through the leafy tiles;
Like a bird, a raven, she rises from the ground,
And alights upon a branch without a sound.
Looking far, far out past twin mountain peaks,
Above which the sun's half-circled body leaks.
Peaceful morning glory, a new dawn,
New beginnings, the painted sky - hope drawn.
The promise of life, risen in glorious daybreak,
In her eyes reflected, shimmering surface of the lake.
Over the deep, deep vale, the tranquil sunrise,
Above the forest dale, she flies;
Soaring in the sky, where the clouds are blushed with vivid hues,
Freedom unbound, open sky, different paths of life to choose;
For her, the dawn, above the dark, dark trees,
Hope embodied, tangible freedom in what she sees.
At this moment, only now, with the infant sun,
Before the day sets in and the night is done;
Only in this instance does she feel so free -
Unbound, liberated, above the leafy sea -
Soaring in the skies,
Basking in the pale sunrise.
