The Gristmill
Bright among the trees,  red walls
shelter sleeping machines. Silently, 
the mill watches over the spring.

Blue green water from deep secret caves
splashes down the mill race
but no longer turns turbines.

Dragonflies dart through the reeds.
Summer hums a drowsy tune.

Premium Member Local Mill
Old local mill stands
A shell of stones
Abandoned
In the times
So long ago
He was a child
Running through
Tall grasses
Dad grinding
The flour Mom
Needed to 
For daily bread
Now it stands
A shell of stones
