as I meander 'round the dell and glade.
Pass scars of sand pits long disused, where gullies, washes speak ‘abused!’
Reclamation offers now a new facade.

Lately,
I too often experience
anger begets anger
to also remember
love begets love.

‘Twas but a mist-enshrouded speckle
dark-painted on looming horizon.

Against a glorious backdrop of tall mountains,
That were fashioned before Eden’s retched  malady,
That beset the human soul and rich surroundings.

When the sun has taken over
and your lips have dried.
When your mind is painfully sober,
and all the hope has died,

concealed deep within where nobody, but you can find.

The gutters were hanging and covered in grime.
The windows were warped and the siding was peeling,
And spider webs spanned from the floor to the ceiling
