The Stone Wall

THE STONE WALL I was loitering lone aimless in pathless wood making way through thorny bush and wild weeds where creeper secretes peculiar fluids. Feral flowers flowing fine fragrance fresh. Stunned to discover a stone wall covered in moss and climber coiled getting wall as strong support. An awkward structure, mismatched in verdant scenerio. Surely the wall is the remains of some construction. Might be a portion of boundary wall of a garden. Might be a part of demolished building. Whatever however once it stood rigid bold watching noisy lively habitation. Once well maintained, now in wreck and ruination standing as sentinel in solitary wood. Only witness of past habitats presently adored and adorned by moss and thorny climbers, arousing curiosity of passer-by. Stone wall standing shy embarrassed finding itself misfit contrasting rhythm and harmony of woody panorama. 10/10/20 ' A Wall in The Woods ' Contest by craig cornish
