saplings

Falstaff · Aug 28, 2004, 03:59 AM

wet leaves fall from limbs that claw the chilly winds of autumn

the gray wooden house silently decays among the saplings almost forgotten

on my path I can see the water barrel and the old car, it silently rusts

the windows are cloudy and broken and the dashboard gathers dust.

The magpie heckles from the shovel leaning against the door.

the forest swallows the home that shelters no one anymore.

excellent observation of objects and everyday situations most of us miss. time for us all to slow down and enjoy the small things
