The Old Grist Mill

[img src="http://www.wallpaperpassion.com/upload/18797/water-mill-wallpaper.jpg"]

the old grist mill stands
nestled in the rocky bank..
red fall leaves surreal............................by Sara Kendrick
 
vibrant blue sky glows stronger
shadowing my dim life's light.......................By Doris Culverhouse
 
red stained swift water
rushes onward to the sea..
slow decaying mill.............................by Sara Kendrick 
 
Vibrant life vacant
Emotions rush, rapids flow
heart and zest soggy....................................by Doris Culverhouse
 
The once spinning wheel silent
Red Birds watch an era leave........................By Sara Kendrick

rocks wear smoothly slick 
as time ticks a new way starts
Cycling ways and days......................by Doris Culverhouse
