Sorry, nope.

A playful thing,

Lost amidst the living spires,

Waiting and wandering

With neither reason nor end.

Many sorrowful things,

Cast into the crying abyss,

Tumbling over and down

Into the darkness' blend.

Many vengeful things,

Astride the roiling pitch,

Rent asunder, cast about,

Turned about and cast aside.

One solitary thing,

Adrift in the open glades,

Pausing to watch the passing

Of the armies on the tide.

Who are we?

[cantab]

Lego bricks?

[Starwhip]

Lego bricks?

No mention of being painful when tread upon, so I'd doubt it... XD

"Living Spires"... Hmm.

I'll get it soon enough.

EDIT:

WAIT, "living spires" = Trees, I think... (not an answer, but I'm getting closer)

[vexx32]

Nope, sorry.

[Three1415]

Alas--the first two stanzas fit, but the last two do not...I must think on this further!

Some opposites thing ?

None of those~

And no, it's a pretty straightforward one, if a bit abstract.

Ghosts? char

Timbers, as used in wooden ships?

None of the above!

(although ghosts is fairly close... but I'm avoiding the supernatural here, as so much of that can fit into way too many things)
