Decaying



               house
       long forgotten
    where whispers still 
                             drift   
        in a tangled forest
 green and lush
                  vines and flowers 
invading
      the rooms  ...
          for nature always
  reclaims what is hers

"Where whispers still drift in a tangled forest, green and lush, vines and flowers" Ahh, breathtakingly carved, elegant piece that expresses a tapestry of delicate emotions whilst weaving myriad imagery in front of the eyes.. "Nature always reclaims what is hers" What a beautiful description.. Love this so much!
