Sara Kendrick Poet Rengay

Old Grist Mill

the old grist mill stands
nestled in the rocky bank
red fall leaves surreal

Vibrant blue sky glows stronger
Shadowing my dim life's light

red stained swift water
rushes onward to the sea...
slow decaying mill

vibrant life vacant
emotions rush, rapids flow
heart and zest soggy

The once spinning wheel silent
Red Birds watch an era leave  

rocks wear smoothly slick
as time ticks a new way starts
cycling ways and days

Andrea Dietrich September 23, 2013 at 5:37 PM wow, you know what. I like this even better than the other one you had with Jack, though that was a great one too. Jack is allowed to help as many people as he wants, did you know that? I asked Shadow. However, it's so great you could do this with your daughter.

Jack Horne September 22, 2013 at 4:04 PM great write, both of you x
