Fields of Grey

Upon jagged rocks I dwell the sea crashing to my rear I look upon the land rolling hills once vibrant and green now lay barren a mist fills the air and fills my eyes remembering fields of daisies where we used to run where the doe and her fawn would rest and the butterflies would so merrily play I gaze out now onto the fields that turned grey and remember those happier times when life was so simple when there was only love in the air when freedoms were cherished and man and nature were friends I sit here in amazement for what could have been the joy, the excitement all gone astray should I stand up and fight for her or let it all slip away

To fight, of course, dear Tim, for if we let it go all will disappear! A beautiful sad poem concealing truths not expressed!

It sounds like a lovely place, Tim. I vote for saving it...maybe in a sequel..Rolling Hill Are Green Once More. Seriously, this is another write of great imagery.

Instead of the sins of the father transferring to the son, stand up and fight. The earth is the most precious heirloom we can pass to the generations to come. By saving her we save ourselves. Great write.
