Vacillate

[krad]

Vague Jade evades my withered path,
Thrown trails among the darkened trees,
Bangs loud the shot, away unscathed,
Zeus cries remorse with eerie pleas

And they pursue my fleeting shadow
A wisp between the foliage green,
Naïve on guard does draw her bow
On gilded feathers does Death do preen.

Before me lay a chasm great
Fair Miasma* encroaching on the fray
Confound these twisted throngs of Fate!
Tonight I dance on air* and sway.


*Miasma- mist, fog, haze
*Dance on air- term for a hanging

I like. Sup w/ the italics? Emphasis on those words or something?
and what does Vacillate mean anyways?
i like the word Vernacular. :)

Vacillate- Think twice. Hesitate.

The italics are how many people are in the poem. The poem illustrates how one life is affected by many.
