Black ash
Fire fall
In the night
The truth a liar

See spells
Barging by
Dazed Mondays
Sleep it looms

Travelling to a moorish past
Smoke signals
A truth at last
A house nearby the countryside
A wasted ground stark deep outside
A man is standing at the door
Looking in to a dark no more

We enter through the chimney pane
Wood I see
Chippings
Desolated floor
Table broken where bread once laid
Goblets cindered marks a grave
A mound of earth where a lost stone lies
No vibrance here alone he dies

A wailing wolf he sees the past
The sky discreet as shadows pass
I mourn the time I see this day
No birds no more where shadows lay
A lost excess when the best has passed
He weeps no more alone at last

No mountains, leafs
No sea, no shore
No sun to see no moon no more
Lost inside a boredom cage
No books to read to turn the page
Inspirations place to fade
A lost forever that boy has made

What have we done he ponders so still
Who cares for beliefs
Who cares for will

Nicely written, and I agree with Noah, as I am getting tired of trees being downed for concrete buildings.
