Oil and grease rise as sweat on concrete trails to destinations yet unknown, leaving behind crumbling foundations of long agoes, remnants of a once was existence. Clouds of dust obscure rotting timbers, melancholy ruins of desolation as across a vultured sky, across a dry and barren land, a wind unheard whispers, calling, for in the past one cannot die, just be forgotten. |

Interesting. Like the last part. I can just see the tumble weed blowing in that ghost town. All those forgotten ones just ghosts now. "The only gift is a portion of thyself" - Ralph Waldo Emerson |

![]() (big hugggssssssss) Oh Tim, this is so very true, sweet firend, so many heroes and legends are forgotten as their towns are left without a mayor or ministry to run them and it truly can be desolating! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tim, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I once had the pleasure of visiting a ghost town - I felt the past blowing through me - This is a wonderful deviation from your norm, m'friend.... ![]() |
